What is Special Education Preschool?
The Nebo District Special Education program provides services for students ages 3 to 5 years old who are found to have a disability under the Federal IDEA law. Services Services available depend on the needs of the student but can include: speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, vision therapy, and early intervention therapy. Placement options Possible placement options for special services include: • Preschool two to four days • Homebound Services (for medically fragile students) • Title I Preschool (available for some title I school catchment areas) • Headstart • Autism Classroom • Internet/Consultation Services Benefits of early intervention services After nearly 50 years of research, there is evidence — both quantitative (data based) and qualitative (reports of parents and teachers) — that early intervention increases developmental and educational gains for the child, improves the functioning of the family, and reaps long-term benefits for society.
