Early Childhood special education services are provided in a separate early childhood classroom. The program provides services to a preschooler with a disability who has significant delays in the areas of communication, socialization and self-regulation.
A trans-disciplinary team approach provides high quality programming and therapeutic methods within a naturalistic early childhood environment for children with intensive social and communication needs. The interventions and modifications are embedded in the environmental design of the classroom to maximize effectiveness.
The program is specifically designed for children needing high level of continuity of service and environmental control.
