EC Preschool Services, Referral & Assessment

Home

Services can be provided in the home as determined to be appropriate by the IEP team.  In addition, children who are medically fragile as determined by a physician can be served in the home.

Itinerant

Children enrolled in daycare or preschools within Union County may receive special education services from a Birth-Kindergarten itinerant teacher and related service providers as needed in their early childhood setting. The teacher provides supplemental aids and services in order to support children with disabilities.

Classrooms

Preschool classes are taught by Birth-Kindergarten certified teachers along with 1 or 2 teacher assistants. The Individual Education Program (IEP) teams determine the placement, frequency, and duration of services based on goals designed to meet each child’s unique needs.

Speech/Language Therapy Services

For preschool children who are eligible for the Exceptional Children’s Program under the category of Speech Impaired, speech therapy is provided at three sites:
  • Hemby Bridge Elementary
  • Marvin Elementary
  • Walter Bickett Education Center
