DCSD Child Find is part of the district's Special Education program. It is a resource for families who are residents of Douglas County. Our Child Find teams offer developmental assessments at no charge to young children from 2 years 10 months through age 5. If they qualify for Special Education services those will be provided in one of our DCSD preschool classrooms.
Starting May 1, 2022 families requesting services for their children under 2 years 10 months old will go directly to Early Intervention Colorado.

Children who are kindergarten-age-eligible even if they are currently attending a private school, will want to contact their homeschool for evaluations. Once they are age-eligible for kindergarten the elementary school which is the homeschool based on your address, is the appropriate place for the assessment.
Children 2 years 10 months through their 5th year and still preschool-age eligible, may request an appointment by filling out the following DCSD Child Find Intake Form.
