A plan for child find in gifted education.Child find has been required for the disabled since the passage of Public Law 94-142, later renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act  Some statements may be disputed, incorrect, , biased or otherwise objectionable. Additionally, several stipulations are included in the federal definition of child find that apply to nontraditional Adj. 1. nontraditional - not conforming to or in accord with tradition; "nontraditional designs"; "nontraditional practices" untraditional traditional - consisting of or derived from tradition; "traditional history"; "traditional morality" students. For example, states are required to seek highly mobile children with disabilities (such as migrant mi·grant n. 1. One that moves from one region to another by chance, instinct, or plan. 2. An itinerant worker who travels from one area to another in search of work. adj. Migratory. and homeless children) and children who are suspected of having a disability and in need of special education, even though they are advancing from grade to grade. Because each state develops its own implementation of child find, this plan may take many forms. Yell (1998) identified several methods for notifying no·ti·fy tr.v. no·ti·fied, no·ti·fy·ing, no·ti·fies 1.

Friedrich Froebel designed (1837) the kindergarten to provide an educational situation less formal than that of the elementary school but one in which children's creative play instincts would be screening, and public awareness efforts" (p. 76).

Child Find for the Gifted While child find is a requirement for students with disabilities, no such federal mandate requires states to seek potentially gifted children for services. A child find plan is important because it "helps the child, the family, and the provider to plan appropriate services and link families to these services" (Shelby County Shelby County is the name of nine counties in the United States of America, all named for Isaac Shelby of Kentucky:

Similarities and differences exist in the five states' child find guidelines, as some follow the prescription of the federal mandate for child find for the disabled. As with the federal mandate for the disabled, two of the states that require child find for the gifted stipulate stip·u·late 1 v. stip·u·lat·ed, stip·u·lat·ing, stip·u·lates v.tr. 1. a. To lay down as a condition of an agreement; require by contract. b. age ranges. Kansas requires that schools apply child find to children of all ages, from birth to 5 and from kindergarten through age 21 (Kansas Department of Education, 2000). In West Virginia, gifted students in grades 1 through 8 and exceptionally gifted youth in grades 9 through 12 are identified as targets for services from the state (West Virginia Department of Education, 2002). Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Tennessee do not specify an age requirement in their child find guidelines for the gifted (Louisiana Department of Education, 2002; Pennsylvania Department of Education, 2000; Tennessee Department of Education, 2001a; Tennessee Department of Education, 2001b). The federal mandate recognizes that children with disabilities may be in public schools, private schools, or day care programs; all of these locations are mentioned as targeted sites for finding disabled students. Likewise, in relationship to the gifted, Kansas recognizes that children who are educated in public or private schools or home school settings, should be located and screened for gifted education Gifted education is a broad term for special practices, procedures and theories used in the education of children who have been identified as gifted or talented. Programs providing such education are sometimes called Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) or (Kansas Department of Education, 2000). Louisiana and West Virginia have similar gifted child gifted child Child naturally endowed with a high degree of general mental ability or extraordinary ability in a specific domain. Although the designation of giftedness is largely a matter of administrative convenience, the best indications of giftedness are often those find regulations. In Louisiana, districts must identify children who are enrolled in the district, in private schools, in public or private preschools or daycare centers, or who are not enrolled in school and have not received a high school diploma A high school diploma is a diploma awarded for the completion of high school. In the United States and Canada, it is considered the minimum education required for government jobs and higher education. An equivalent is the GED. (Louisiana Department of Education, 2002). West Virginia mandates that districts conduct aggressive searches for gifted children who are either in or out of school in preschool, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescent ad·o·les·cent adj. Of, relating to, or undergoing adolescence. n. A young person who has undergone puberty but who has not reached full maturity; a teenager. , or adult educational programs (West Virginia Department of Education, 2002). Pennsylvania's guidelines require that gifted students living in the district be located, but school levels are not mentioned. Additionally, Pennsylvania seeks to find children who are being educated and those of school age not enrolled in school to be located for screening (Pennsylvania Department of Education, 2000). Tennessee mentions finding children from within the local community for identification; they may be in or out of school or educated in private or public schools (Tennessee Department of Education, 2001b). Hence, state guidelines vary in the specifications for where children can be found. The location of nontraditional students is a facet facet /fac·et/ (fas´it) a small plane surface on a hard body, as on a bone. fac·et n. 1. A small smooth area on a bone or other firm structure. 2. of child find in both the disability law at the federal level and gifted child find at the state level in Louisiana. In this state, school district regulations target specific groups in their child find campaigns, including homeless children and migrant children (Louisiana Department of Education, 2002). Kansas, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia do not address the plight of these nontraditional students in their gifted child find regulations (Kansas Department of Education, 2000; Pennsylvania Department of Education, 2000; Tennessee Department of Education, 2001b; West Virginia Department of Education, 2002). In IDEA, interagency in·ter·a·gen·cy adj. Involving or representing two or more agencies, especially government agencies. agreement is a key component in the successful identification of students with disabilities. Tennessee's gifted child find provision includes a similar statement about the critical role and cooperation of community resources, such as agencies serving the public. Furthermore, Tennessee's provision recognizes the assistance of professional groups, local agencies, and special interest groups as vital to finding gifted children in the community (Tennessee Department of Education, 2001b). Initiating a Child Find Plan for Locating Gifted Children In the absence of state law and rules and regulations in the majority of states, there are several national, state, and local gifted-education groups who could begin a child find campaign geared to locating gifted children who otherwise are not identified and who could benefit from special services (see Table 2). Unlike children with disabilities, who are championed by federal laws to locate and serve them, gifted children are left to rely on the efforts of concerned advocacy groups to spearhead location and identification efforts, especially if no state law exists addressing these issues. The national associations in gifted education (e.g., National Association for Gifted Children The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) is an association in the United Kingdom for gifted and talented children, and their parents. They offer training and courses, and publish academic research in relevant areas of education. , Council for Exceptional Children/The Association for the Gifted, Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted) could join together to develop public relations public relations, activities and policies used to create public interest in a person, idea, product, institution, or business establishment. By its nature, public relations is devoted to serving particular interests by presenting them to the public in the most and advocacy tools for child find to disseminate dis·sem·i·nate v. dis·sem·i·nat·ed, dis·sem·i·nat·ing, dis·sem·i·nates v.tr. 1. To scatter widely, as in sowing seed. 2. to key associations and organizations at the state, national, and international levels (see Table 3). The "press kit" for child find in gifted education could include sample press releases, model letters-to-the-editor, op-ed columns, public service announcements, videotapes, brochures, and a bibliography bibliography. The listing of books is of ancient origin. Lists of clay tablets have been found at Nineveh and elsewhere; the library at Alexandria had subject lists of its books. on gifted education. Additional information could include a model letter to be disseminated disseminated /dis·sem·i·nat·ed/ (-sem´i-nat?ed) scattered; distributed over a considerable area. dis·sem·i·nat·ed adj.

Initiatives could include a model proclamation An act that formally declares to the general public that the government has acted in a particular way. A written or printed document issued by a superior government executive, such as the president or governor, which sets out such a declaration by the government. to be used at the national, state, and local levels to launch a child find campaign in gifted education. Each state has an association geared to gifted education that could launch such an activity. Without changing the constitution and by-laws BY-LAWS. Rules and ordinances made by a corporation for its own government. 2. The power to make by-laws is usually conferred by express terms of the charter creating the corporation, though, when not expressly granted, it is given by implication, and it is of the association, each state could form an ad hoc committee ad hoc committee A committee formed with the purpose of addressing a specific issue or issues, which theoretically is disbanded once its raison d'etre is finished to design, implement, and evaluate an annual campaign utilizing the press kit developed by the national associations. Local associations for the gifted could hold meetings on the importance of finding and serving every gifted child. The members could be helpful in disseminating dis·sem·i·nate v. dis·sem·i·nat·ed, dis·sem·i·nat·ing, dis·sem·i·nates v.tr. 1. To scatter widely, as in sowing seed. 2. information at the local level to key groups (see Table 5). They could also develop displays to be located in malls, libraries, banks, and other public places. Colleges and universities with courses and degree programs in gifted education could disseminate information through the media. Many have Saturday Saturday: see week; Sabbath. , after-school, and summer programs for gifted children and youth. These gifted students and their families could generate more public awareness for finding every gifted child. Districts could also undertake child find activities within their schools to locate potentially gifted students who have not yet been identified. Administrators and district gifted coordinators could be encouraged to post and distribute child find resources in teachers' workrooms, counselors' offices, libraries, and reception areas to encourage and remind staff, faculty, and visitors of potentially gifted children. Current Child Find Resources for Locating Gifted Children Some states requiring the location of gifted students articulate articulate /ar·tic·u·late/ (ahr-tik´u-lat) 1. to pronounce clearly and distinctly. 2. to make speech sounds by manipulation of the vocal organs. 3. to express in coherent verbal form. 4. child find strategies. Materials used for child find activities for the gifted have been developed by Louisiana and Tennessee. Louisiana has developed a poster poster, placard designed to be posted in some public place for purposes of commercial announcement or propaganda. Advertising makes wide use of posters, as do charitable and political organizations. that presents the needs of children with special needs, including children who may be gifted/talented or disabled. This colorful poster describes the specific characteristics of children who are intellectually, academically, creatively, or artistically gifted, and pictures of anonymous children and previous child find posters designed by children are featured. The posters prominently display contact information, including phone numbers and e-mail addresses See Internet address. e-mail address - electronic mail address for gifted coordinators. A similarly designed pamphlet pamphlet, short unbound or paper-bound book of from 64 to 96 pages. The pamphlet gained popularity as an instrument of religious or political controversy, giving the author and reader full benefit of freedom of the press. is also available that outlines in greater detail the purpose of child search in Louisiana, who may be referred, whom to contact, the services available, and questions to consider regarding children at various developmental stages and grades. Louisiana also distributes a "One Minute Gifted Quiz A quiz is a form of game or mind sport in which the players (as individuals or in teams) attempt to answer questions correctly. Quizzes are also brief assessments used in education and similar fields to measure growth in knowledge, abilities, and/or skills.

The brochure is available from the state department's website in Appendix A of the "Guidelines for Intellectually Gifted" (Tennessee State Department of Education, 2001a). Tennessee has created a brochure for distribution about child find for the gifted. The Guidelines for Intellectually Gifted in Tennessee (2001a) outlines strategies for involving the media and other communication resources, including radio and television, newspapers, grocery sack notices, inserts for bills or bank statements, posters, brochures, newsletters to school personnel and other agencies, letters to parents, and bumper stickers bumper sticker n.

Furthermore, community resources identified for input and access are mentioned, including public housing, recreational centers, public libraries, churches and other religious affiliations, physicians' offices, and community-based organizations and clubs (Tennessee Department of Education, 2001a). A website has also been created for the purpose of locating gifted children in Tennessee. Kansas lists in its state regulations possible venues for the dissemination dissemination Medtalk The spread of a pernicious process–eg, CA, acute infection Oncology Metastasis, see there of gifted child find notices, including doctor's offices, libraries, television stations, newspapers, churches, and recreational departments (Kansas Department of Education, 2000). Implications for Practice and Research Efforts to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of specific public relations strategies, child find campaigns, and similar efforts to locate gifted children are needed. Additionally, school districts, advocacy groups, and other organizations interested in initiating child find activities in their states need a collection of child find materials and models.

Successful strategies can then be replicated by other groups interested in supporting the identification and education of gifted children.

While a few states have specific plans for child find for the gifted, most do not but can address this need through efforts of local advocacy groups and other district, state, and national organizations supporting gifted children. Groups should evaluate current child find efforts and articulate specific steps needed to create and implement child find plans geared to identifying and appropriately serving gifted children.
Table 1
State Definitions of Child Find
State Child Find Definition
Kansas The child find requirement for schools applies to
children of all ages. Child Find in Kansas involves a
screening process for children from birth to age 5,
and a general education intervention process for
children from kindergarten through age 21. Schools use
these processes to locate, evaluate, and identify
students who may need special education services. The
earliest possible identification of a student's areas
of educational or behavioral concerns will assist a
student to benefit from special education and diminish
the impact of the concern on the student's education.
This means that students in need of special education
services should be identified as young as possible,
and also as soon as possible after the concern is
noted. Schools must have policies and procedures in
effect to ensure that all students with
exceptionalities (those who have disabilities and
those who are gifted) who attend public, private, or
are home schooled and who are in need of special
education and related services are identified,
located, and evaluated (Kansas Department of
Education, 2000).
Louisiana Each LEA, in accordance with the requirements of this
subpart, shall document that the effort of ongoing
identification activities is conducted to identify and
locate each student who is under its jurisdiction, who
is suspected of being gifted/talented and in need of
special education and related services, and who is one
of the following: enrolled in an educational program
operated by an LEA; enrolled in a private school
program; enrolled in a public or private preschool or
day care program; is not enrolled in school, except
for students who have graduated with a regular high
school diploma. Ongoing identification activities
apply to highly mobile G/T students (such as migrant
and homeless students) and students who are suspected
of being G/T and disabled and in need of special
education, even though they are advancing from grade
to grade (Louisiana Department of Education, 2002).
Pennsylvania Each school district shall adopt and use a system to
locate and identify all students within that district
who are thought to be gifted and in need of specially
designed instruction. Each school district shall
conduct awareness activities to inform the public of
gifted education services and programs and the manner
by which to request these services and programs. These
awareness activities shall be designed to reach
parents of students enrolled in the public schools and
parents of school age children not enrolled in the
public schools (Pennsylvania Department of Education,
2000).
Tennessee Child find is an activity that involves all available
resources within the community. The effectiveness of a
child find program depends upon the involvement and
cooperation of the state and local agencies,
professional groups, and special interest groups.
Interagency cooperation generates one of the most
effective and efficient means of identifying and
locating children with suspected high intellectual
potential and children whose needs are not being met
through the child's environmental opportunities. In
order to identify all children and youth with high
intellectual potential, community residents must be
made aware of the need for identifying and serving
such children and of the benefits which may result
from early identification and the provision of
appropriate services (Tennessee Department of
Education, 2001a). Each local school system shall
develop and implement procedures for creating public
awareness of special education programs and services.
This includes a comprehensive system of child find
activities for all children suspected of having a
disability in public and private schools and
facilities. Any Child Find activities shall be
comparable for children in private schools and
facilities. A notice must be published or announced in
newspapers, other media, or both, with circulation
adequate to notify parents of the activities conducted
by the local school system. Any child suspected of
having a disability may be referred to the local
school system. All referrals shall be in writing to
the school principal or special education
administrator. The local school system shall establish
written procedures for accepting, processing and
documenting receipt of each referral. The procedures
shall be approved by the Division. (Tennessee
Department of Education, 2001b).
West Virginia The mandated target group for the state child find
requirements includes individuals with disabilities
between birth and 21 years of age, gifted students
from first through eighth grades, and exceptional
gifted in grades nine through 12. Part C of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
requires interagency collaboration in child find
activities targeting children from birth through 5
years of age. The intent of the federal and state
legislative child find mandates is to require an
aggressive search by the state and local educational
agencies for: individuals with disabilities ages birth
to 21, gifted individuals from first through eighth
grades, and exceptional gifted in grades 9 through 12,
who are out of school and not receiving preschool,
early childhood, middle childhood, adolescent, or
adult educational programs; and children with
disabilities who are enrolled in preschool, early
childhood, middle childhood, adolescent, and adult
educational programs, gifted students who are in
grades 1 through 8, and exceptional gifted students in
grades 9 through 12, but who are receiving programs
and services inappropriate to meet their needs (West
Virginia Department of Education, 2002).
