Improving Child Find Services in Rural Communities Manual - Section 2: Getting Started - This is one section of a 7 part manual on developing a community collaboration team to address public awareness and child find issues. Section 2 of the manual pertains to choosing a target area for implementing child find activities by looking at population data and risk factors for a community. Agencies need to determine if there is a specific “target population” recognized as having unique characteristics to be considered when designing child find activities. It also addresses targeting individuals in the community that have information or ideas of effective ways of “getting the word out” in that community to be involved in the process.
