These written policies and procedures will include disseminating information, at regular intervals, about referring a child for a suspected disability to every household in the district. This dissemination of information at regular intervals will include ads taken out in local newspapers as well as agreements in place with agencies such as Help Me Grow and MR/DD to assist in Child Find. Policies and procedures should address the district's relationship with community early learning providers as well.
