Admission
Children with developmental disabilities are eligible for admission at age 18 months if they have a developmental delay and age 12 months if they have no delays. Parents must complete an application packet including an Admission Information Form signed by a physician stating that the child is able to participate in a child care program and has current immunizations. Children are enrolled depending on space availability and must be able to benefit from participation in a group setting. During the first six weeks of attendance the teacher, therapists and educational coordinator will complete curriculum-based and standardized assessments for children with developmental delays. Following the assessments, an Individual Intervention Plan (IIP) meeting will be held with the parent(s) to review the assessments and write goals and objectives.
All eligible children are admitted independent of race, color, and national or ethnic origin. |
