• Detailed Information

  • “Child Find” is a requirement of both federal and state law. It mandates that each school district will locate, identify and evaluate, at no cost to the family, all students, from birth to 21, who are suspected of having a disability.

    The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) list and defines thirteen disabilities - autism, deaf-blindness, auditory impairment, emotional disturbance, mental retardation, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, learning disability, speech impairment, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment and non-categorical early childhood.

    Mansfield ISD also provides services to students with disabilities who attend a private or home school located within the boundaries of Mansfield ISD, regardless of the child’s place of residence. Educational services to these students are provided under Mansfield ISD’s Private School Plan. Additionally, Mansfield ISD provides services to students with disabilities who are placed in a foster home or other residential facility within the district’s geographic boundaries.
