If a young child is not meeting typical developmental milestones, or if someone is concerned about the child’s growth or learning, the Child Find team will evaluate how the child plays, learns, speaks, behaves, and moves.

Children who are not yet in Kindergarten can be referred at any time if a parent, doctor, or child care provider has concerns about their development.

• Birth to age 3: Child Find partners with local Early Intervention programs, such as Mountain Valley Developmental Services, to support families.
• Ages 3–5: Children are evaluated through the preschool special education process. To make a referral, please complete the Child Find Referral form located in the 'Quick Links for Families' and submit to, ASD Child Find Coordinator, Chelsi Wehner at cwehner@aspenk12.net or (970) 300-2265.
• Ages 6–21: Please contact Chris Elliott at celliott@aspenk12.net for more information.
