Child Find Department

The Child Find Department, run out of 2625 E St Louis Avenue, Building C, in Las Vegas, is not a recreational program but a public referral and evaluation service for children from birth to 18 who may have a disability or developmental delay. Three age brackets are on file, 0-3, 4-12, and 13-18, reflecting the different evaluation pathways used for infants, school-age children, and teens.

Services include special education evaluations, developmental assessments, referrals to early intervention services, help developing an IEP or IFSP, and referrals for related services such as speech, occupational, or physical therapy. In practice, this department is usually a family's starting point when a school, pediatrician, or parent has a concern and needs a formal evaluation before a child can access special education support or therapy services through the school district.

The office is wheelchair accessible and is marked as special needs friendly, with accommodations on file including speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, early intervention for ages 0 to 5, autism early intervention, developmental delay programs, special education support, learning disability support, ADHD support, and emotional or behavioral support. That is a wide list, consistent with a department whose job is to connect families to the right service rather than deliver every service itself.

Hours are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, with the office closed on weekends, year-round. The price range in our listing is Free, which fits a public school district service rather than a private provider. No information on scholarships, trial offers, sibling discounts, or payment methods is relevant here given the nature of the service. Communication is offered in English.

Families who suspect a delay or disability and are not sure where to start should treat this as the first call rather than a therapy provider itself. To begin an evaluation or ask what documentation is needed, call (702) 799-7463 or visit ccsd.net's Child Find page for current intake information.
