Child Find

The SVSD Child Find process is designed to locate and identify children with suspected disabilities or delays, as mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Child Find screenings help determine if a Special Education evaluation is required to determine eligibility for school-based services to address the identified delays. 

Child Find is a resource available to all children residing within the service boundaries of the Snoqualmie Valley School District, including homeless children, children who are wards of the State, highly mobile children, migrant children, and children who attend private and public schools.

​​​​​​Early Services for Infants and Toddlers (Birth - 3 years)

SVSD partners with Encompass to offer cost-free evaluations for infants and toddlers. This evaluation will help identify if a child is following a typical development pattern, or if a delay may be present, and offer early intervention services to address the identified delays.

For more information or to schedule a screening intake, please contact:  Encompass  |  425-888-2777

For more information regarding Early Services for Infants and Toddlers, please visit the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families.

Note: If your child is two years, 10 months or older, please follow our Preschool process.

Preschool (Ages 3 - 5)

SVSD offers regularly scheduled, free developmental screenings for children ages 3-5 years old. These screenings allow early childhood professionals to assess your child’s development in social, adaptive, motor, speech/language, and cognitive skills. If eligible, SVSD offers a continuum of specialized services, including developmental preschool and itinerant service models.

Parents should contact the Child Find Coordinator if they:

  • Have questions or concerns about any aspect of their child’s learning and development or

  • Have a child already identified with a disability and are seeking appropriate educational services.
