Early Childhood Special Education

The Early Childhood Special Education Program is a federal program designed to serve children ages 3-5 with significant developmental delays in at least one of the following areas: health, motor (fine and/or gross), social/emotional/behavioral, communication (speech and/or language), cognitive, and adaptive. Children must qualify for the program based on a screening and evaluation process. If the criteria are met, the team will place the child into the special education program and write an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The special education services of the Hallsville Early Childhood Special Education Program include classroom teachers, speech and language therapists, occupational and physical therapists, and teacher assistants. 

 

Children who qualify for the program are provided with a hands-on, developmentally appropriate play-based preschool curriculum focusing on individual needs. There are two sessions; morning (3-4 year olds) and afternoon (students entering kindergarten the following school year). The morning session meets from 8:05-11:00 a.m. The afternoon session meets from 12:40-3:35 p.m. with all children attending daily, Tuesday through Friday.
