Program Preschool Special Education:

Preschool Special Education

  • Description:

    The Preschool Special Education Program is a federal and state entitlement that makes available at no cost to parents, appropriate public education for children ages 3 to 5 with developmental delays. Eligibility is determined by multi-disciplinary evaluations, and services are based upon the child's needs as recommended by their school district's Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE).

    Preschool Special Education services strive to minimize adverse affects of a developmental delay on a child's ability to learn. To refer a child to the Preschool Special Education Program, call the child's school district and ask for the CPSE chairperson. If your child is already enrolled in the Early Intervention Program, the service coordinator will assist the family with the referral process.
