The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act-Part B provides for the identification and evaluation of students ages three through twenty-one who are suspected of having a disability. The Albuquerque Public Schools Child Find Unit primarily evaluates students age two and a half to five. Children may be referred by parents, medical personnel, social workers, school employees or others with whom they have direct contact. Children are initially screened and then referred for a multidisciplinary evaluation, if appropriate. If a child is found eligible for special education services, the Individual Education Program committee will then develop an individualized program of services to meet the needs of the child.
