ESS - What if my child is not determined to be potentially eligible for special education?
Not all children who receive ESS will qualify for preschool special education. Once your child turns 3, there may be community-based services that can support your child’s and family’s needs including community preschool programs, outpatient therapy programs and continued Area Agency services. As part of the transition planning process, your Service Coordinator will discuss these options with you and help you to review and plan for all your options.
