Child Find
The Union Elementary School District is looking for students aged 2 years 9 months through 5 years who may have suspected delays.
It’s a fact that children with special needs benefit from early intervention. It’s also a fact that many of Arizona’s preschool children with special needs do not receive services because we don’t know who they are.
If you are the parent or guardian of a preschool child or know of a preschool child with suspected developmental delays and reside within the boundaries of the Union Elementary School District, please contact the district at (623) 474-5017 to schedule a free screening.
Consider these factors:
Does your child have difficulty in any of the following areas:
- Seeing people or objects?
- Hearing voices or other sounds?
- Talking, or is hard to understand when they do talk?
- Moving, especially when crawling, walking or running?
- Playing or getting along with children or adults?
- Interacting appropriately with others?
- Cognitive or academic skills?
To Schedule a Child Find Screening:
For preschool age children, (ages 3 to 5 years but not kinder age eligible) you may call the Exceptional Student Services Department at 623-474-5015 to schedule an appointment. Appointments are scheduled every Wednesday throughout the school year.
School Age Children:
- For school age children, age 5-21, who are currently attending a Union Elementary school, please contact the child’s school administrator, teacher, or school psychologist
- For school age children, age 2 years and 9 months-21, not attending a Union Elementary school, but who reside within our boundaries, or attend a Private School located within our boundaries, contact Exceptional Student Services at 623-474-5015.
