Child Find

Child Find is part of Colorado's system for identifying children suspected of having a delay in development. If a young child is not meeting typical developmental milestones, or someone is concerned about the child’s growth or learning, child find teams will evaluate how the child plays, learns, speaks, behaves and moves. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine if there is a significant delay or if there is a need for early intervention or special education services. Evaluations conducted by Child Find teams are at no cost to parents. Children who are not yet in Kindergarten may be referred at any time when a family member, doctor or child care provider has a concern about their development.

Children Birth to 3

If you suspect that your child is delayed in their development, your child may be eligible to receive early intervention services. The Developmental Disabilities Resource Center will support families with eligibility determination and services coordination. You can contact them by calling 303-462-6619 or send an email to eireferral@ddrcco.com.
