CHILD FIND SCREENINGS

Deerfield Public Schools District 109 participates in an ongoing process of locating, identifying, and evaluating preschool children ages three, four, and five, who may show delays in one or more of the following areas:
- Cognitive Development
- Social, Emotional, or Behavioral Skills
- Speech-Language
- Fine or Gross Motor Development
- Pre-academic Skills
