CCMR Information

Child Find is a collaborative process to identify children suspected of having a disability to evaluate and identify need for Special Education and Related Services. Early identification of disabilities assists parents, students, and schools in the design of appropriate educational services and supports

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act includes the Child Find mandate. Child Find requires all 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.

The primary purpose of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is to ensure that all children with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education, including special education and related services that are "designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment and independent living …" (20 U.S.C. 1400(d); Wrightslaw: Special Education Law, pages 48, 207)

Congress encourages states to provide Early Intervention Services so children with developmental delays and other disabilities will receive treatment early. Congress enacted the Early Intervention Program for Infants and Toddlers to provide interagency coordination of services to children from birth to two years of age. Under IDEA, states must ensure that children with disabilities are eligible for special education services by age three.

Gladewater ISD provides language support services that help Emergent Bilingual students develop English proficiency while mastering grade-level academic standards. Our program values students' native languages and cultures while preparing them for success in college, career, and life.

Gladewater ISD uses the English as a Second Language (ESL) content-based and pull-out program models to support emergent bilingual students’ English language acquisition. In an ESL Content-Based program, students are provided English language instruction by an ESL certified teacher(s) in all content areas that are integrated with the academic content such as math or science. In a Pull-Out ESL program, an ESL certified teacher pushes in to the English language arts and reading classroom (ELAR) or pulls students out to teach ELAR. Both program models use English as the instructional language with a goal of English language proficiency.
