Ephrata schools offering Child Find screenings

EPHRATA — The Ephrata School District announced Jan. 9 that screenings for developmental disabilities for youth up to the age of 21 are available through the Child Find program. Children can be screened to determine if an evaluation is necessary to identify any disabilities or developmental delays and if the child is eligible for special education services. Referrals may be made by sources within or outside of the school district and the service is free of cost. Anyone wanting a child to be screened should call the Child Find program at 509-754-3538 to make an appointment.
