‘Child find’ to be held by North Brunswick schools

Parents with a child ages 3-21 who may be experiencing physical, sensory, communication, cognitive or social difficulty are asked to call the North Brunswick Township Public School District at (732) 289-3035 to arrange an appointment and/or referral to a child study team.

The school district is responsible for locating and evaluating all children who may be disabled, according to a press release from the township. Possible signs of a handicap include trouble seeing individuals or objects, trouble hearing, temper tantrums, and problems with pronunciation.

Once a child has been located, the district will set up a free screening, and if the child is in need of services, he or she will be eligible for a free special education program through the township’s “child find.”
