Early Childhood Special Education
Western Cook County School Districts
Early childhood special education refers to services for children, three through five years of age and their families. These services are provided through school districts, which you can see listed below. View Oak Park, River Forest, and Chicago school districts and special education cooperatives listings here. Professionals with training and expertise in special education services implement the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part B, by supporting the educational needs of young children and families.
Early childhood special education professionals and related services personnel provide specialized educational services to children with disabilities in a variety of settings and ways to meet the developmental learning needs of children. In addition, families and early childhood providers may request information about appropriate expectations for children’s development.
