CT kindergarten questions
by grand
Nov 13, 2011
My step daughter and her husband have moved to CT. Their youngest is speech delayed and at almost 2 and a half uses only about 5 words. In the state where they previously lived, where I live, they could have taken him at 2 and a half for an evaluation through the school department that would have resulted in walk in speech/language servies. Is there any evaluation in CT like this?

Also what is the K age there? Oldest has a December birthday. Here that would have made her enter K in the September after the birthday. Am I correct in that she can enter K in CT in the year she turns 5? (which would be while she is still 4)

The pedi referred them to the program at the children's hospital in Providence. ...See More

Suzy Agreed, an eval can't hurt but could reveal issues that should be addressed now. Early intervention is critical with language delays. Birth to Three ([link removed].

If the child is not identified through Birth to Three, the child would be screened by the local school district to see if he/she qualifies for services through their preschoo...See More
