Child Find: Under federal law, all public schools are required to actively look for, find, and evaluate infants, toddlers, children, and young adults up to age 21 who may have a disability and who may require special education services. At Worcester Public Schools, it is our responsibility to identify any children who are Worcester residents who may have a disability—regardless of severity. WPS is also required to evaluate those children to determine if they are eligible for special education or related services under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) or 603 CMR 28 (Massachusetts Special Education Regulations).
