Special Education Refferals

A “\Child Find Process” is a process developed by every public school preschool in order to identify those children in need of special education support. The Parker Road Preschool uses preschool screening as a first step in this process. Children participate in preschool screening either as part of the enrollment process into the preschool program or by parent/teacher/pediatrician referral.

Preschool Screening Process

  • The Preschool Screening Process is designed to review a child’s development and to assist in identification of those children who should be referred for an evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services.
  • The Preschool Screening Process is available to families who have concerns or questions about their 3 or 4 year old child’s development, but it is not a required step in a family’s request for an evaluation.
  • Preschool Screenings are most often requested by parents who either have concerns/questions about their child’s development OR have been encouraged to request a screening due to concerns/questions from family members, caregivers, teachers, or pediatricians.
  • Preschool Screenings are held bi-weekly throughout the school year at the Parker Road Preschool.

A Preschool Screening appointment can be made by calling the Director of Preschool Programs for the Shrewsbury Public Schools at (508) 841-8713.
