Children three to six years of age who are identified with a disability are eligible for early childhood special education. The children may demonstrate deficits in any of the following areas: early learning, speech and language, social/behavior, motor (fine or gross), or adaptive skills.
Professionals who work with three- to six-year-old children with special education needs provide an array of special education services at school, home, Head Start, childcare, and other community settings. Our goal is to provide services with typically developing peers to the maximum extent appropriate.
Frequency and types of special education services are determined and outlined in your child’s IEP. Special education and related services may include consultation with staff, direct services to the child, itinerant services, training related to the disability, and other services that are identified by the IEP.
