“Child Find”
For Pupils Ages 14 - 21
Special programs for young adults, ages 14 through 21, are conducted at Northern Highlands Regional High School for those who have an identified disabling condition and/or a measurable developmental delay in physical, social, communicational, and/or emotional areas, and who may require and would benefit from special education and related services. Eligibility for these services is determined by a Child Study Team evaluation of the child. Any resident who has a child, ages 14 through 21 years, who may require special services, should contact the Office of Special Services of the Northern Highlands Regional High School at 201-327-8700, ext 520. Project “Child Find” serves special needs children from birth to 21 years of age.
For those students who suffer from a less-disabling condition, but who manifest a “substantial limitation”, that is either physical, emotional, neurological, or cognitive, 504 services are available. For more information, contact the Guidance Department at extension 530.
