[QUOTE="SRL, post: 6527, member: 701"] I believe Child Find is the federal term and that states adapt the name to suit their fancy. The number of days is based on school days (days off don't count) so January isn't out of line. What is absolutely critical is that you follow up that telephone conversation with a certified letter requesting evaluation because that legal time frame only kicks into gear with written receipt of your request. Without a written request they can (and sometimes do) push it back. I did find this brochure which is for early intervention (birth to 2 in your state it seems). It does have a phone number where you could probably get your questions answered or get an alternative number for the early childhood age.

This is valuable, especially because it may result in some beneficial services such as therapy and/or preschool. But I would still encourage you to make an appointment with your pediatrician and request a private medical evaluation. If s/he gives you any flak, stress the family history. [/QUOTE]
