September 2020
Denver Behavior Consultants was founded to provide children and families with the strategies needed to increase their success at home, school, and in the community.
A message from our President, Kerry Diener

EVALUATIONS ARE CRITICAL IN TODAY'S CLIMATE
Currently, our team is seeing a huge decrease with the number of families requesting an evaluation for their young children. Families seem nervous about doing in-person evaluations, but they are actually being done via telehealth, which is a wonderful way to still get a solid evaluation. Many families have also avoided their well visits with their pediatricians, but it is still a critical time to bring them in if you’re concerned. 

Child Find is part of Colorado's system for identifying children suspected of having a delay in development. If a young child is not meeting typical developmental milestones or someone is concerned about the child’s growth or learning, Child Find teams will evaluate how the child plays, learns, speaks, behaves and moves. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine if there is a significant delay or if there is a need for early intervention or special education services. Evaluations conducted by Child Find teams are at no cost to parents.


Locate a Child Find Contact in Colorado
To make a referral for screening or evaluation, contact Child Find in the Special Education Administrative Unit (AU) where the child lives.
