What is the process for having a student evaluated for preschool special education services?
The person who would like to initiate the evaluation must make a referral to the district Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) Chair, explaining that they’d like an evaluation for the student. (8 N.Y.C.R.R. § 200.4(a)(6)). The Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) must make an eligibility determination as well as service and/or placement recommendations within 30 school days of when parental consent was given. (8 N.Y.C.R.R. § 200.16(d)&(e)). The district must implement the CPSE recommendations on the nearest July, September or January start date, or within 30 school days from a CPSE recommendation made within 30 days of the July, September or January program start date. (8 N.Y.C.R.R. § 200.16(f)).
