Medfield Public Schools Preschool Screenings
Mass Special Ed Law requires that each school district conduct screenings as part of a "child find process" to identify special ed needs.
Preschool Screening Information...
Massachusetts Special Education Law requires that each school district conduct screenings as part of a “child find process” in order to identify those children in need of special education support. Medfield Public Schools uses preschool screening as the first step in the process.
The screening is voluntary and is for children ages 2 years, 9 months up to the age of 5 years old and is designed to review a child’s development and to assist in the identification of children who should be referred for an evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services.
In accordance with the law, Medfield Public Schools will conduct screenings of children
throughout the school year at Memorial School. Please call Meg Nelson, Preschool Special Education Educational Team Learning at 508-359-5135 or email her at mnelson@email.medfield.net for more information about the screenings and/or to schedule an appointment for your child.
