SCCDC offers an inclusive infant, toddler and preschool experience for all children. This allows children with disabilities to play and learn beside children who may not have special educational or health needs. Our staff will help families who are concerned about their child’s development with the process of getting their child evaluated. While SCCDC does not conduct the evaluation, our experience with the process and relationships with providers make the process less overwhelming. Teachers use ongoing assessments to monitor children’s development and help families make decisions about support services.

Children may receive therapy at our centers. Parents, therapist and Center Director will need to sign OCFS form 5014 in order for therapist to give services outside of the classroom. Children who receive evaluations at our centers must be accompanied by an SCCDC staff person or their parent.
