Child Find Programs
Child find is a community-wide effort to provide opportunities for children with disabilities. Parents, educators and members of the medical community take part in the program to locate children who may have a disability.
Parents/Community members who contact Child Find may have concerns about the child’s development in the areas of:
- Hearing
- Vision
- Speech/language skills
- Motor skills
- Thinking skills
- Emotional/social skills
Child Find provides developmental screening and, when appropriate, a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary evaluation for children from birth to kindergarten age.
If you live within the Bridgeport School District and have, or know of a child who may have a disability, contact the Elementary School Office at 262-1574 from 9 am to 3 pm or write to:
Special Education Department
PO Box 430
Bridgeport, NE 69336
