Child Find Notice - 2025-2026

Windham Northeast Supervisory Union (WNESU) is committed to identifying and supporting children with disabilities who may need special education services. In accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004, P.L. 108-446) and Vermont Special Education Rule 2360.1, we are required to locate, identify, and evaluate all children residing in our communities—from birth through age 21—who may have a disability and are in need of special education or related services.

This includes children who are:

• Enrolled in public, private, or home-study programs

• Highly mobile or experiencing homelessness

• In foster care

• Not currently enrolled in any school program

Early Childhood Developmental Screenings

Our Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) Program offers free developmental screenings throughout the school year for preschool-aged children and infants. These screenings are available by appointment and are designed to support early identification and intervention for developmental concerns.

To schedule a screening or learn more, call (802) 463-9958 and choose Option 8 for the ECSE services menu.
