What they reported doing
- #1 primary $319Kour special education itinerant service (SEIT) program serves students in new York city who have individualized education plans (IEP) through the child's school district's committee on preschool special education. itinerant education support helps our students achieve the mandated goals outlined in their iep. seit services are provided by a certified special education teacher. seit services are individualized to the needs of each child and include: implementation of the child's iep; implementation, coordination, and monitoring of the child's behavior management program; collaboration with preschool directors and teachers; coordination of the child's educational programs with teachers, therapists and parents and parent trainings, observations and home visits.
- #2 $43KAt ERCDC the evaluation program requires the efforts of our parents, clinicians and educators. It is based upon a multi-disciplinary team approach that ensures that a child suspected of having a disability receives timely evaluations at our SED approved evaluation site (at no cost to the parent). Evaluations establish the childs functional levels, determine eligibility for services (including the need for any bilingual services) and are used to develop an IEP for any student in need of special education programs and/or services. The evaluation reports describe the language(s) of assessment, including the childs proficiency in both the childs native language and English, the present levels of performance and learning characteristics of the child. They identify levels of cognition, language and communication, social/emotional development, self-help skills, motor development and management needs which may affect the preschool students ability to learn. When assessing children and interviewing families from multicultural/multilingual backgrounds, social/cultural determinants are considered. Each childs environment and cultural norms are of particular importance as part of the process to determine the need for a special education program and/or services.

How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Culturally Responsive Multidisciplinary Evaluationmethodology: culturally responsive multidisciplinary evaluationBy assessing children through a multidisciplinary lens that incorporates linguistic proficiency, cultural norms, and social determinants, the organization increases accuracy and equity in special education eligibility determinations, because culturally grounded evaluation reduces misdiagnosis and supports appropriate service access for multilingual and multicultural children.
- Family-Inclusive Coordinated Caremethodology: family-inclusive coordinated careBy integrating teachers, therapists, and parents in a coordinated service delivery model with home visits and parent training, the organization improves implementation of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), because family engagement strengthens consistency of support across home and clinical settings.
