developmental programs for children

[Guest guest]

I am an early childhood special education teacher. There are programs

for children from birth to three...this is the Infant and Toddler

Program. At three until five there are Early Intervention programs for

children with developmental delays. Your local school system should

have a Child Search director that you can call and set up an evaluation

for your child. Yes a parent can request an evaluation. From that

evaluation they will judge if there is an area that a child needs help

in. In the Infant and Toddler program, a teacher goes to your home to

work with you and your child. When the child turns three, he/she may

qualify for the Early Intervention program at an area school or have an

Early Intervention Teacher go to your home and work with your child.

Check your local school system. Call your Child Search coordinator and

ask questions. She/He can steer you in the right direction.
