York schools seek children with disabilities

The York school district is looking for children with disabilities who need services and who are not already enrolled in a York public school program.

The district provides programs for children ages 3 to 21. They include preschool children with disabilities, mental disabilities, specific learning disability, emotional disability, speech or language impairment, hearing impairment, autism, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, vision impairment, traumatic brain injury and children with multiple disabilities.

Child Find is a series of activities designed to seek out families and children who may need special services. If there appears to be a delay in any area of a child’s development, parents can seek help from the Child Find coordinator.

Once a disability is identified, special programming or services may be designed to help the child be more successful in school and life activities.

Screening clinics will be conducted at the Education Service Center on 18 Spruce St., York. Appointments may be scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday by calling 803-684-1905.
