Special Needs

Each preschool child with a disability receives a comprehensive evaluation and an Individual Education Program (IEP) developed by a team of professional diagnosticians and the childs parent. Infants and toddlers with a disability receives a comprehensive evaluation and an Family Service Development Plan (FSDP). Therapy and prescriptive programming are provided with assistance from other agencies. The CSI Head Start program philosophy is that every child learns more readily when involved in a group, so children with disabilities are not separated from other children. Ten percent (10%) of total enrollment opportunities must be for children who have been professionally diagnosed or suspected as having a disability.
