Early intervention for preschoolers

[Guest guest]

I've recently heard from someone in NY and TX that early intervention extends to

age 5, and that preschool aged kids can get language services separate from the

school system, even in their home, until Kindergarten. I hadn't heard of this,

only that children transition from EI to preschool at age 3.

Anyone from NY or TX receiving or know of these services?

[Guest guest]

No, in NY Early Intervention just goes up to age 3. You can get an extension

for 6 months depending on your child's birthday - we did that because EI

pays for digital hearing aids whereas the school district won't. At age 3,

the child transitions to CPSE services (Committee on Preschool Special

Education) which is run by the school district. My son is 4 and receives

services that way.

Hey - I'm in LA but I was just told today (my first EI meeting - wahoo!) that

the school will begin testing him at 2 years and 2 months. Although EI in our

state ends at 3 years he can begin getting services such as speech therapy and

stuff through the school at three years old instead of having to wait until he

is in the school program. I wonder if that is what they mean?

I am in Texas and the cutoff for EI is 3, then the school system takes over.

We got at home services only until age 3. Then my son went to the school's

preschool program for children with disabilities from age 3 until now. His

last day of school is tomorrow and he will be mainstreamed Kindergarten next

year. (Exiting but scary).

In Gergia there is an agency called Georgia Pines and they serve deaf and

visually disabled kids from 0-5. Most of the 3-5 year olds are served by their

local school systems though.

Does he receive services in the preschool setting, or at home?

No, in NY Early Intervention just goes up to age 3. You can get an extension

Both!!

He has multiple services since he has low tone as well as the hearing loss.

He gets speech therapy and physical therapy at home, and he gets OT and a

SEIT (special education itinerant teacher) at preschool. This was largely

for scheduling convenience. Sometimes the speech therapist works with him at

preschool too.

I remember reading about a change in the law that allows EI up until age

5, but I don't know how it was worded. Perhaps it allows states to use

EI up until then. It does not appear that VA is doing up until age five.

I'm in TX too. My daughter had EI til she was three at home and

then the teacher started coming to her Mother's morning out once a

week and then to the Elementary school. She will be mainstreamed

in the Fall also. The teacher will come once a week and pull her

out when she's in Kindergarten also.

I'm in Illinois and here early intervention (EI) ends on the childs third

birthday. There are school sponsored preschools where children needing services

are sent after that age. But I also know of a few moms whose children were

recieving speech services in EI and and at 3 did not want to send them to

preschool. In these cases the moms wanted to homeschool, so the school district

continued to provide speech services to them at the school.

I believe EI here in NC ends at age 3, also.

That is true, but for some reason since Jake was in a preschool that

the School for the Deaf ran, he was under the school for the deaf until

he was entering K. He was in the auditory oral preschool. The county

paid transport but the school for the deaf paid the rest. It may have

changed now, this was when he was 5 and he is 12 now. (oh my I am

getting old...........)

Sara,

In California, services are provided under an IFSP until the child is

3 through the early intervention program (in our case it was through

the County Office of Education), and from 3+ through your local school

district (under an IEP).

I don't check this group very often but if you have any more

questions, please put " Listen-Up to Rajeev " in the subject and it will

get forwarded to me.
