Annual preschool special education data report: School year 2021-2022

Description:

NYCDOE arranges special education services for all NYC preschool children with disabilities. Preschool children with disabilities may receive programs and services in a number of different public school settings, as well as in contracted programs that partner with the NYCDOE. For children who receive itinerant services such as speech therapy or Special Education Itinerant Teacher (SEIT), the child receives services in settings that families choose, which may be 3-K or Pre-K for All programs, private preschool or daycare settings, or at home. For children whose Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) recommend a program placement such as special class in an integrated setting (SCIS) or special class, the Committee on Preschool Special Education offers families a placement in an appropriate program as close to the families’ home as possible. SCIS and special classes are available in both 3-K and Pre-K for All programs and in contracted state-approved nonpublic programs. The DOE made substantial improvements to the preschool special education process during the 2021-2022 school year, including, continuing to add staffing capacity to CPSEs, expanding the early intervention transition coordinator team; additional professional development on inclusion for preschool programs; expansion of preschool special education integrated program offerings, and beginning the implementation of the Preschool Special Education Enhancement Contract, which is bringing much needed funding to preschool special education providers. We are seeing the results of these improvements in some of the metrics in this report. (author abstract)
