Lindenhurst Preschool Center Offers No-Cost Skills Assessments

The Preschool Evaluation Center in the offers on-site assessments of children between the ages of two and a half and five years old at no cost to parents in the district.

According to district officials, the Center evaluates the physical, adaptive, cognitive, speech and language, social and emotional abilities of a child. A team approach is used to work in partnership with families to meet their child’s needs.

If parents suspect delays in their children’s development, then they might be eligible to receive services through the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE), noted district officials.

These services could include speech, occupational therapy, counseling, special education, physical therapy, an integrated preschool program, or a half- or full-day special education program.

The first years of children’s lives are the most important for their development, and they need the benefits of early education services to acquire the abilities necessary to succeed, noted district officials.

The Lindenhurst School District is committed to the early identification of students who are in need of special services, officials added.

For further information Lindenhurst parents could contact Linda Kaye, district CPSE chairperson, at 631-867-3110.
