We will help you determine eligibility for your child, and can assign a service and support administrator (SSA). At 3, a child can have an Individual Education Plan through their school, which spells out exactly what services the child is to receive. The IEP includes annual goals (both academic and functional) and benchmarks or short-term objectives. Your child’s SSA will connect you with valuable resources, answer questions, and give support based on yearly goals.
