Child Find

All children can learn. Some may need extra help.
How do I know if my child needs extra help?

ALL children grow and develop at different rates. A problem in one or two of the skill areas described may not be serious, but it is important to be certain. There is a link to the Developmental Chart in the top right corner of screen of standard developmental skills. The sooner the delay in development is discovered, the sooner help can be offered. Screening is the first step in identifying children who may need special services.

Are you concerned about your child exhibiting any of the following characteristics

Slow development
Difficulty with seeing or hearing
Difficulty with moving
Long-term health problems
Difficulty with speaking
Difficulty with getting along with others
Advanced academic talent

Bradley County Schools will provide free screenings to assess skills in:

body coordination

If your son/daughter needs extra help, it is imperative he/she receive the necessary assistance at the earliest possible date. Early intervention yields the most positive outcome.
