Worried Your Toddler Has A Developmental Delay?

All school districts in the state are required to provide services for special needs children, ages birth to 21 years. 

The Franklin Lakes school district maintains a preschool program for children who are developmentally challenged, have a diagnosed disability or developmentally delayed in areas such as physical, social, communication and/or emotional.

Children who demonstrate measureable delays may benefit and require special education and related services. The preschool programs are designed to meet the unique needs of children by means of a multidisciplinary team approach. 

Children who have been diagnosed prior to age 3 or are suspected to have developmental delays before or after their third birthday are determined to be eligible for special education and related services by the Franklin Lakes Child Study Team. 

Any resident who has a preschool child who may require special educational services and support are invited to contact the Franklin Lakes Department of Special Services at 301-337-0336.
