Child Search is designed to find children and youth in need of special educational services. ChildNet is Louisiana's early intervention program for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. This program is to coordinate private and public resources to ensure that all eligible children birth through two and their families receive appropriate services. Any individual age birth-21 may be referred for an evaluation if they seem to need special services in order to receive an education. If you know of any individuals with disabilities between the ages of birth-21 years who are not receiving educational services, contact Child Search at your local public school system or the Office of Special Educational Services, Louisiana Department of Education.
Education improves the quality of life.
Anything, which interferes with a child's being able to benefit from an education, should be noted. When differences are found early, many school problems may be eliminated. They will take into account the age and the needs of the individual in order to provide a free, appropriate public education. Under federal law, all information concerning a student must remain confidential. A parent must obtain the information concerning the child by contacting the local school system.
