NYC Invests $67.5M in Preschool Special Ed | New York City News
Description
NYC is pouring $67.5 million into early childhood special education, expanding 5 specialized programs to 14 districts across all five boroughs this fall. The move aims to bring services closer to home, hire more staff to shorten evaluation wait times, and boost bilingual testing and IEP support. Mayor Zohran Mamdani emphasizes that every child deserves to learn in their neighborhood. New hires include psychologists, social workers, and therapists stationed at regional centers. Plus, special education teachers will now embed directly in general classrooms to foster inclusion. This is a major step toward making critical early interventions more accessible and family-friendly citywide.
