Questions from Kent County
Who do I call if I’m worried about my child’s development in Kent County?
Call 410-778-7164. In Kent County, the same line handles the Infants & Toddlers Program (birth to 3) and Child Find (age 3 and up). You can also refer a child under 3 online at referral.mditp.org. Both are free.
What is the difference between Child Find and a medical evaluation?
Child Find is run by the school system and decides eligibility for special education. A medical evaluation is done by a clinician and can lead to a formal diagnosis, which TRICARE’s autism program and some other plans require. Blue Sails offers autism evaluations.
