Child Find

RYSS Early Childhood Academy at Leonel Castillo Community Center has a responsibility to identify, locate, and evaluate any students who may need special education. This system is called Child Find. When a teacher knows or thinks a child could have a disability, speech delay, behavior concern, learning disability, or other conditions, the school must evaluate the student. Child Find applies to children from birth to age 21. Teachers may initiate a referral for a student. Our district Special Populations department will support us with Child Find. Parents may also initiate a referral for their child. It is the responsibility of all of our staff to support students who may need help.
