The Early Childhood Special Education Program seeks to identify disabilities and delays as well as strengths for children.  To be eligible for the program, children must meet specific guidelines and criteria based on screening and evaluation procedures. The services provided by the Union R-XI Early Childhood Special Education Program include assessment personnel, classroom teachers, speech therapists, clerical staff, occupational and physical therapists, paraprofessionals, and a nurse.  Consultant services for hearing impaired, visually impaired students are also available.

 Children with disabling conditions are those who demonstrate significant delays in one or more of these areas:

• Vision

• Hearing

• Physical Development (fine and gross motor skills)

• Speech
