Child Find Duty-Everyone's Responsibility

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is providing this training to assist local education agencies (LEAs) in meeting their obligations under state and federal laws and regulations regarding the responsibility to identify, locate, and evaluate all children suspected of having a disability and who need special education and related services, commonly referred to as the Child Find obligation. To ensure that all children needing special education and related services are identified, it is important that LEAs establish and implement continuing efforts to seek out these children and inform the public of services available to children and families. This training is intended to serve as a resource for professionals in various roles in schools across the state as they design and implement Child Find policies, procedures, and practices.
