Manage county-wide preschool special education programs
Preschool
#1 Choice for New York State Counties

The New York State Education Department (SED), Office of Special Education oversees a statewide preschool special education program. Each school district has a Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) that determines, with other stakeholders, each referred child's eligibility for services. Preschool special education serves to prepare children with special needs for school-aged programs.

Funding for these special education programs and services is shared by the State and each County. The Preschool System enables Counties to navigate the complex rules and regulations related to funding preschool special education and ensure that the maximum reimbursement provided for by the State is obtained.

Implementation includes onsite training and we offer both onsite and webinar-based supplemental training.
