Children in Private Schools
Children in Private Schools. If your child attends a private school or is home schooled, the district still has an obligation and responsibility for testing all children suspected of having a disability. This obligation falls under the Child Find activities. Child Find is a system which was put in place by IDEA to identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities in the state who need special education and related services. To do so, states conduct what are known as Child Find screenings. Each state is required to have a child find system.
