Child Find requires school districts to identify, locate and evaluate all children with disabilities, regardless of the severity of their disabilities. This obligation to identify all children who may need special education services exists even if the school is not providing special education services to the child. Parents, relatives, public and private agency employees, and concerned citizens are urged to help Boston Public Schools find any child who may have a disability and needs Special Education. Sign up here. You may also contact contact the Office of Special Education at 617-635-8599 or by email at specialeducation@bostonpublicschools.org.
