Child Find Information

Child Developmental Screenings

Do you have a young child age 2 years 9 months or older but not yet in 4K?  Do you have concerns about his or her behavior, social skills, readiness, speech/language skills,  or other areas of development or would you just like reassurance that s/he appears to be "on track?"  We can help!

Developmental screenings are provided by our Early Childhood Staff at no cost to parents and hearing/vision is also completed by our nursing staff.  You'll get feedback that day about ideas, possible resources, and whether or not more in depth evaluation appears warranted.  If you live within the Pulaski Community School District and are interested in screening for your child, please call Alissa at 920-822-6021 to set an appointment or to learn more!  **If your child is already in 4K, contact your child's teacher with concerns.**

What is the Ages and Stages Questionnaire?

The Ages and Stages Questionnaire is a developmental screening tool used by both educators and health professionals.  It relies on parent expertise of their child to respond to questions about things their child can and can not do.  The questionnaire includes questions about a child’s communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal social skills. This questionnaire is the same questionnaire that pediatricians utilize to check developmental milestones.

Section 504

Section 504 is stated in one sentence of the The Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  This is a civil rights law that prohibits agencies that receive federal funding from discriminating against persons with disabilities on the basis of that disability. The main emphasis in the schools is equal educational opportunity.  This is usually accomplished by providing appropriate classroom accommodations to eligible students with disabilities that are not severe enough to qualify for special education, but which are substantially limiting their learning or other major life activities. Eligible students are afforded an equal opportunity to participate in school extracurricular and non-academic activities.  For more information on Section 504, please contact your child's school principal.


Special Education

Special Education provides a variety of services to students with disabilities.  The Pulaski Community School District provides these programs and services across the district.  If you have questions about Special Education programs and services, please contact the Student Services Office at 920-822-6020.
