NYC Expands Special Ed to Preschool | New York City News
Description
New York City is making historic strides for preschoolers with disabilities, expanding five high-demand special education programs into early childhood classrooms this fall—thanks to a $67 million investment. The initiative will add 250 new seats across 26 schools, reducing travel burdens for families and keeping kids within the public system. Advocates hail this as long-overdue, ensuring no child is left behind simply because they have a disability. Beyond classroom space, the city is hiring hundreds of new therapists and staff to deliver full, timely services and embedding special educators in general preschool settings to foster inclusion from day one.
