Evaluation
Children can be referred for a free evaluation to help identify specific conditions that may prevent any young person from learning. The evaluation is the first step in getting the help he or she needs. A free evaluation is available for children through Eaton RESA.

What to expect when you get here
When you come to your appointment, expect to spend about an hour with us, you will come to the check in table and get a name badge and a folder. You and your child will go through to different stations, each one looking at a different developmental area including: speech, social emotional, cognitive, motor, vision and hearing. We also have a play area that your child can play at while he/she is waiting for the next available station.
We have trained Early Childhood staff that you will be meeting with and by the end of your visit you will have an idea if further testing is needed. Please be prepared to make a follow-up appointment with the evaluation members if necessary.
For those who qualify after the evaluation, Eaton RESA in conjunction with the local public school system helps find special programs and educational services to meet the individual's needs so he or she can receive the best possible education.

Child Find is devoted to helping individuals, parents and people who work with families (known as primary referral source), to connect with the special educational services that may be needed.
