The Jefferson County Board of Education has Child Find procedures that ensure that all children within its jurisdiction, aged three (3) to twenty-one (21), regardless of the severity of their disability, and who need special education and related services are identified, located, and evaluated.
The Child Find procedures also apply to children who attend private schools, including children attending religious schools, within the Jefferson County Board of Education district, highly mobile children with disabilities (i.e. migrant and homeless children, or children who are wards of the state), and children who are suspected of having a disability and are in need of special education even though they are advancing from grade to grade.
For more information, call the Jefferson County Board of Education, Department of Exceptional Education at 205-379-2033.
