Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities

Early On .... Can make a difference

The goal of the Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities is to provide early intervention in a variety of community and school environments to ensure success in the general education classroom. Each child who meets eligibility for PPCD services will have an Admission, Review and Dismissal (ARD) committee-developed Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to address need in the following areas: Language/Communication, Social Behavioral, Gross and Fine Motor, Daily Living Skills, Pre-Academic and Academic concepts. All services are provided by professional staff in the areas of need for each child. Individualized Education Plans are created by a team who is familiar with the student both at home and in a school setting.

PPCD provides special education services for any eligible child who is between the ages of 3, 4, and 5. Services are provided throughout AISD campuses at no costs to parents.  AISD also offers bilingual programs for English Language Learners.
Under Child Find, it is our duty to " locate, identify, and evaluate" any child with a suspected developmental delay or other disability. Please contact our special education department if you have questions about Child Find or would like more information about special education services.
