Annual preschool special education data report: School year 2019-2020

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 2019-2020 school year, including the hiring of additional Preschool Regional Assessment Center teams and additional CPSE community coordinators; early intervention transition coordinator support for families; professional development on inclusion; and expansion of preschool special education program offerings. However, many preschool special education processes were disrupted when the CPSEs transitioned to working remotely on March 20, 2020, due to COVID-19. (author abstract)
