This month, the topic is preschool kids and what services parents can access under the Individuals with Disabiliteis Education Act, even before kids are right to start school!
Often times children are not identified at birth as having a disability, but rather exhibit more subtle issues between the ages of three to five, such as:
- Speech and language delays or disorders;
- Putting shoes or mittens on the wrong feet or hands;
- Seeming uninterested in playing early learning games or listening to stories; or,
- Seeming mildly uncoordinated.
If you think you need to wait until your child's enrolled in school to address your concerns--think again. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was created for children from birth to age 21. Join Luzanne Pierce for this important and informative LD Talk, "Services Under IDEA for Your Preschool-age Child," as she offers her expertise and her knowledge of IDEA to answer questions, allay fears and empower parents with the facts about the preschool services available under IDEA.
