The 红领巾快报 (红领巾快报) has established relationships with our community partners that serve as a strong first step in identifying and supporting children with special needs.
Our approach
Preschool identification, assessment and programming is a collaborative effort between parents, school and community partners. Early identification procedures and programs are reinforced and strengthened by on-going dialogue and appropriate responses. A range of supports and services are available, pending consultation with Special Education Services.
The more information you can provide about your child the better your school can prepare and support your child in the learning environment. The principal and Special Education Services will work with families or guardians and community partners, with consent, to provide a smooth transition into school for your child.
