You are here: Home VISION The Bartow County Preschool Program in conjunction with other community early intervention agencies believes that "five is too late". Children with developmental delays benefit proportionally when services are provided at the earliest possible age. We further believe that the family is the child’s primary teacher and strongest advocate. Therefore we must work cooperatively with caregivers to target the child’s special needs, then plan and implement a program which develops a continuum of services to meet those needs, for assisting in their preparation for kindergarten and the future. HISTORY ELIGIBILITY Children must score two standard deviations below the mean in at least one of the 5 developmental areas or 1.5 standard deviations below in 2 or more areas to qualify as Significantly Developmentally Delayed. These areas are: Cognition (pre academic skills) Adaptive Skills (self help) Personal/Social Skills (interactions) Language Motor Skills Services are also provided for children with a diagnosis in any of the other 13 categorical areas of special education. Your child may begin receiving these services as early as his/her third birthday.

HOME WHO WE ARE PLUGGING IN PERSONAL GROWTH ... REACHING OUT Children with Special Needs Welcome Our Staff Our Goals Our Programs ... Preschool Committee NEW FOR 2003-04 As an accredited program and as a program that strives to provide the least restrictive environment for all children needing early education and care, the following policies shall apply to those children with identified special needs prior to enrollment, OR for children who are not clearly benefiting from the program for unidentified reasons. Special Needs is defined as any child who is exhibiting behavior of being cognitively, socially-emotionally, behaviorally or physically challenged. Bel Air Presbyterian Church Preschool reserves the right to: Request, when necessary, that parents make arrangements for appropriate assessment to be done for children who are clearly not benefiting from the program in one or more of the developmental domains. This can be done through private intervention and assessment or through the public services of the UCLA Regional Center or LAUSD. If it is determined that the Preschool cannot meet the needs of an individual child, further assessment may be required for continued enrollment. Request, when necessary, that parents provide contact information for our staff to speak directly with professionals providing assessment or intervention on behalf of the child. This connection and commitment to receive direction from professionals will help our staff to know how to best adapt the environment to meet the specific needs of the child as well as follow through with specific learning goals and benchmarks.

Wilton Preschool Services Preschool Services Faculty Sometimes as a parent I wonder... Why is my child difficult to understand? Why does my child prefer to play by himself? Why isn't my child speaking as well as his friend? Why does my child always run and bump into things? To answer these and similar questions, Wilton Public Schools has made a commitment to provide a comprehensive education for all students, including those with preschool special needs. What is Preschool Special Education? Wilton Preschool Services is a public school, special education program for children from 3-6 years of age. Children are enrolled in the program after being evaluated by a multidisciplinary team and found to have a significant delay in one or more developmental domains. Parent collaboration in the Planning and Placement Team (PPT) meetings is a critical component for gathering information and designing a successful school program. An Individual Education Plan (IEP) outlining specific goals and objectives to meet the child's needs is developed collaboratively each year by the school team and the parents.

Ms. Johnson I attended Temple University in the 1970's for my BA in education. Later, in the 80's, I acquired my MA to teach Multi-Handicapped and Hearing Impaired from Gallaudet University. I have taught special needs preschool in Arlington County since 1986. I have been at Patrick Henry Preschool (located in the Arlington Career Center) since 1987. It is a wonderful experience teaming with parents to enable children to learn and become more independent. I enjoy visits from past "graduates", sharing their life experiences and seeing them grow! I am the proud mother of two wonderful, adult children. My daughter, Brooke, teaches Drama in Norfolk, Va. and my son, Michael, is completing his degree in mechanical engineering at University of Wisconsin. Dr. Lyon Mrs. McDermott Born and raised in Iowa, I graduated from Drake University in Des Moines, with a B.S. in Education. In 1968 I began my teaching career in suburban Chicago, teaching 5th grade.

Gary Moore / The Star Related content Day in the Life: Greenwood By Ronald Hawkins Star correspondent January 19, 2004 A 3-year-old boy walked up to a visitor in Mary Boand's special education preschool classroom at West Grove Elementary School and reached out for a hug. Moments later, another boy started to cry, which prompted another boy to start crying. Another child with a wide smile indicated with his hands that he wanted someone to help him wash his hands. Similar activities persisted throughout a recent day in the classroom, a day that was a little easier than a typical one, said Boand, an early childhood special education teacher. Although the morning and afternoon classes aren't that crowded 11 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon the individual demands encountered are considerably greater than those in an average classroom. The classes are divided into smaller groups of two or three children for part of the day.

Diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age 2, he needs constant structured activities in order to learn language http://www.copaa.net/newstand/autismpaschcuts.html

N EWS A RTICLES OF S PECIAL I NTEREST F ROM A ROUND T HE C OUNTRY March 3, 1999 Parents attack plan to trim special-needs preschool By Gloria A. Hoffner INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF MEDIA Unstructured playtime is a serious problem for 3-year-old A.J. Pyrih. Diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age 2, he needs constant structured activities in order to learn language and social interaction skills that most children pick up by modeling others, his mother, Cindy, said. That is why she fears that a Delaware County Intermediate Unit plan to cut five weeks from the county's early-intervention preschool calendar could slow the progress of A.J. and other special-needs children. "When we are not actively working with him at home, school or with a therapist, he is doing mindless tasks over and over," Cindy Pyrih said. "There is no question that the more early intervention these children receive, the better their chances of being able to be integrated into a regular classroom when they are school-age. "No expert has said, 'Give them less education and therapy. ' That decision is based on money."

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n To Assure the Free Appropriate Public Education of all Children with Disabilities - 1995 Chapter 2 Meeting the Needs of Infants, Toddlers, and Preschool Children with Disabilities The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) supports efforts to provide coordinated service delivery systems for children with disabilities from birth through age 5 through several programs. The two major programs serving this population are the Early Intervention Program for Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities (Part H) (from birth through age 2), and the Preschool Grants Program (Section 619 of Part B) (ages 3 through 5). A number of discretionary programs also support projects for this population. These include the Early Education Program for Children with Disabilities (EEPCD) (Section 623 of Part C) and grants for activities such as training personnel and conducting research. Part H was created by P.L. 99-457, the Education of the Handicapped Act Amendments of 1986. Part H authorizes assistance to States to address the needs of infants and toddlers (children from birth through age 2) with disabilities and their families. The grants support a statewide comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, interagency, coordinated program of early intervention services for infants and toddlers who meet the State's Part H eligibility criteria for an infant or toddler with a disability. This includes infants and toddlers who are at risk of having a substantial developmental delay if early intervention services are not provided, if a State chooses to serve those children and their families.

Find out how special services and inclusion work. By Diane Trister Dodge and Toni S. Bickart All parents want to be sure their children are getting enough attention to benefit from preschool and to be happy and secure in the program. However, you may be concerned that your child is not doing well in some developmental areas or seems far behind others in the same general age group. Should you be troubled by these concerns, don't hesitate to seek information and guidance. Ask your pediatrician or your child's teacher whether their observations match yours. Request information about screening/evaluation services, which each state is required to have in place. For infants and toddlers, look for your state's "Early Intervention" program. For three- to five-year-olds, contact the special education specialist in your local public school district.
