Early Childhood Special Education
While all children grow at their own pace, some children experience delays in development. Special health conditions may also affect development. Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) offers information, support and referral services to help at no cost to families. ECSE programs provide supports and services to infants, toddlers, and preschool children with a delay or disability and their families.
These services may be provided in a variety of settings including in your home, in a school-based early childhood program, or in a community-based childcare. Children are eligible for Early Childhood Special Education through a special education evaluation.
