SPECIAL EDUCATION AND SECTION 504 CHILD FIND NOTICE

Regional School Unit 1 has a duty to locate, evaluate and identify any child residing in the District who qualifies for Special Education services or any child attending the public schools who may require Section 504 accommodations or services (ages 5-20).

Children eligible for special education include those children with disabilities who have autism, intellectual disability, deafness, deaf-blindness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, specific learning disability, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment, or developmental delay and who, because of such an impairment, need special education services.

Children eligible for Section 504 accommodations or services include those children who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.

In addition, children 0-5 years of age have the same rights through Child Development Services.

If you suspect your child has a disability and may need special education services or 504 accommodations, or if you would like additional information, please contact your child’s teacher, or call the Director of Special Education at 443-8293.
