Western Springs District 101 provides Early Childhood Special Education services for children, three through five years of age. Children are identified through screenings, a parent referral, or as a child transitions from an Early Intervention program.
If an evaluation is recommended, the LADSE team will conduct a Transdisciplinary Play-Based Assessment. This is a holistic method of evaluating a child’s developmental level through play.
Children who qualify may receive services through itinerant services or the Early Childhood Special Education Program (ECE). The ECE program is an integrated program focusing on children learning through play.
For further information about Early Childhood programs in District 101, please contact Julie Fredericks at 708-485-2850.
