Child Find Services 

Child Find is a special education service provided by Hobbs Schools for identifying children from ages three through twenty-one who are suspected of having an educational disability and who may be eligible for special education and related services.
The process begins with a review or screening of available information about the child. When screening indicates the possibility of an educational disability, the child is evaluated in relevant areas. Screening, assessments and evaluation services are available at no charge to eligible children. When results indicate that a child is disabled and in need of special education services, an individualized plan is developed. This will be either an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Individualized Service Plan, depending on the age and residency of the child. Special education services are provided free of charge.
Most referrals are made directly by a child's parents. Referrals (with parental consent) can also be made by health care providers, social workers, child care providers, and other individuals familiar with the child's development. For additional information about special education services or to request a review or screening for a child please call 433-0600 and ask to speak to the Child Find Representative.
