The Elma School District regularly conducts "Child Find" activities to locate children from birth to age 21 who are developmentally delayed or have a disability.
Parents residing in the Elma School District who feel that their child may need special learning assistance in the area of developmental stages, speech/language, hearing, vision, motor skills, reasoning or learning ability, behavior problems, or special health concerns may request an evaluation or screening. Community members who provide services to children such as counseling, health care, dental care, or child and family supports may also refer children they serve who live in the Elma School District for educational evaluations or screening.
Additionally, If your family is living in a temporary situation, you may contact the district where you are staying to attend a screening.
