Special Needs

Children with suspected developmental needs may be identified during our screening and assessment process. A referral may be made for further assessment by our Pre-K Early Intervention team. If eligibility is determined, then services are provided to maximize each child's potential. These services may include education, speech, language, physical and/or occupational therapy, psychological services, and special educational services. Families are involved in developing an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for their child with special needs. All preschool sites are accessible and barrier-free.
