Preschool Special Education
Our goal at CVESD is to meet the needs of all our students. We firmly believe every child should have equitable access to the curriculum and we strive to provide them with the services and support needed to do so. We also understand every child is unique; therefore, if you are concerned about your child's development, we encourage you to share your concerns with the classroom teacher and they will ensure adequate steps are taken to support you and your child.
Preschool Evaluation Referrals
The Preschool Evaluations department can assist parents who are concerned regarding their child's development. If you feel your child may require an evaluation, please contact the Preschool Intake Secretary at (619) 425-9600 ext. 1708 to schedule an intake appointment.
During your intake appointment, your concerns will be discussed with the intake team who will then determine the best next steps for your child with your input. The video below will take you through the entire preschool intake process and shed some light on how the evaluation may look for your child.

Diagnostic Team
If your child is referred for a comprehensive assessment, he or she will be participating in a two-week program that resembles a preschool classroom. During this time, a multi-disciplinary assessment team will be observing, collecting data and administering the needed assessment tools in all areas of suspected disability. Upon completion of the two-week cycle, the team will schedule an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting to share with you the results of the assessment and determine potential eligibility for Special Education Services and Support.
