The Richland Parish School Board tries to help students with disabilities through its Child Find Program.
Child Find is a component of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requiring states to locate, identify and evaluate all children with disabilities, aged birth through 21, who are in need of early intervention or special education services.
Do you know a child or a student between the ages of birth to 21, who shows signs of developmental delays, on-going learning problems, behavioral or medical problems interfering with learning? Do you suspect the presence of a disability?
The Child Find program is looking for children ages 3-21 who may have a special need in one or more of the following areas:
• Speech or language;
• Vision or hearing;
• Physical or orthopedic;
• Emotional development;
• Social development;
• Learning development; and
• Intellectual development.
If you know of any individuals in Richland Parish who have disabilities, are between the ages of 3-21 years, and who are not receiving special education services, please contact Richland Parish School System Supervisor of Special Education Angie Snuggs at 318-728-5964 ext. 235.
