Any child between the ages of 3-5 years old, residing in the Elmont School District, and is suspected of having a developmental delay, can be referred to the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE). The CPSE will arrange for a comprehensive evaluation to determine if your child meets the New York State Department of Education's criteria to receive special education services. A referral to the CPSE begins with a letter to the Chairperson requesting an evaluation.

 

If you would like more information about this process, contact Helisse Palmore, Assistant Director of Pupil Personnel Services and Special Education at (516) 326-5580 ext. 42243.
