TALLADEGA COUNTY, Ala. – In order to find all children in their school system who need unique help, the Talladega County Board of Education is asking parents of special needs children to register them with Child Find, a statewide effort of the Alabama Department of Education and the Department of Rehabilitation Services, to “locate, identify, and evaluate children with disabilities from birth to age 21.”
A flyer from the school system sates, “Early intervention and special education services work closely with community service agencies, parents, and the local system to locate children with disabilities… (Child Find) helps the child, the family, and the provider to plan appropriate services and link families to services for students meeting eligibility requirements.”
For more information, please contact your local school system or coordinating council. Parents of eligible students from the ages of three through 21 in the county system should call (256) 315-5100. Parents of children under the age of three should call 1 (800) 543-3098.
