It can be worrying if you feel your child isn’t meeting their milestones. You can request an educational evaluation if you have concerns or suspect delays in your child’s development. This evaluation will be done at no direct cost to the family, provided by our school district.
After a child receives a formal evaluation to identify specific needs, trained ESCE teachers and specialists will work with parents and child. From birth to age three, these Special Education services are delivered to the child primarily in his/her home or child care center. From age three to kindergarten, children receive these services at the Edina Early Learning Center or possibly a community preschool or daycare.
Parental involvement is guaranteed every step of the way. From birth to age three, a child’s education is outlined in the Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP). After age three, a child’s educational goals and objectives are outlined in an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Parents play a key role in developing the child’s plans.
The ESCE staff help children do the best they can through their individualized program plans (IFSP and IEP) geared to promote development, based on each child’s assessed level of function and need. They also support and educate families to help promote the abilities and work with the challenges of children who have special needs. Additionally, they provide parents with important information about community-based experiences for their children.
