Early Childhood Special Education services are provided to children with identified special needs, developmental delays or specific health conditions. ECSE teachers work with families to address concerns about their child's development in the early years of life and develop plans to help meet the child's specific areas of need. Early Intervention services are provided for children who show developmental delays in the areas of speech/language, motor skills, social/emotional skills, cognitive skills, and functional skills. 

ECSE services include Information and Referral, Screening, Evaluation & Assessment, Consultation, Home visits, Speech and Language services, Physical therapy, Occupational therapy, Psychological services, Vision, or Audiology services. Access to these services as early as possible will ensure the best developmental outcomes for the child.

The goal of OT service is to enable students with disabilities to function in their school environments successfully and independently, alongside their typically developing peers. Occupational therapists in schools promote 'occupations' that occur during the school day. An occupation is anything a person does that allows them to engage in activities that make up daily life - from writing your name to getting dressed, to driving or having a conversation. Typically, occupational therapists in schools support staff & students in the areas of fine motor, sensory processing, assistive technology, self-care, and functional tasks. Occupational therapy uses a holistic approach and views the situation through the student's lens. This means giving consideration to the student's environment, the student's skills (visual, motor, processing, etc), staff skill level and interaction, and the student's values and motivators when looking at their daily occupations.

Physical Therapists address concerns in areas of Mobility, Gross Motor Skills, and Use of Mobility Equipment. Physical Therapists in the school setting focus on a child’s ability to participate in movement activities that impact their day-to-day activities such as crawling, walking, running, jumping, playing games, and participating in sports. In addition, Physical Therapists can help children who rely on mobility devices learn to navigate safely in various environments in their educational setting. Physical Therapists can assess joint range of motion, muscle power, neurological function, motor control, and posture to improve a child’s balance, coordination, strength, and endurance within their school environment.

School psychologists help students, families, and educators, understand and resolve chronic problems, as well as long-term and short-term issues that students may face regarding academics, social skills, mental health, and behavior. School psychologists use a variety of methods to evaluate students' eligibility for special education services, based on academic skills, learning aptitudes, personality, behavior & emotional development, social skills, and learning environments. School Psychologists help children and youth succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally by identifying potential barriers a student may be experiencing and creating supportive learning environments and interventions to allow students to overcome these barriers. They help educators and students, Improve Academic Achievement, Promote Positive Behavior and Mental Health and Support Diverse Learners.

The Assessment Specialist conducts educational evaluations for students with disabilities to identify and inform the design of any specialized instruction needed for the student. They work collaboratively to develop student evaluation plans and assess student needs by partnering with  IEP teams, main-stream district staff, related service providers, families, and community resources as necessary. 

Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing services aim to meet the educational, communicative, and social-functioning needs of students who experience loss of hearing varying in degree. We provide audiology services to children ages birth to 21. DHH services work with students, educational staff, & families to facilitate the development of listening, language, and self-advocacy skills in order to enhance the student's well-being and confidence. Services include providing consultation to IEP and Child-study teams, necessary assessments and other specialized testing, provide support and guidance specific to assistive technology needs, environmental assessments, and service to educational staff. 

School speech-Language pathologists work with students directly in schools to address any speech and language needs the students may have. SLPs may diagnose and treat a wide range of Speech disorders, Language Disorders, Social-Communication disorders, and Cognitive-Communication disorders. A need for speech services may be indicated if a student has difficulty pronouncing speech sounds,  speaking clearly, organizing and verbalizing thoughts or answers to questions, or understanding what others say or write.
