Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE)

With an ECSE license, you are authorized to provide evaluation and specially designed instruction to eligible children, birth through age six, who exhibit a broad range of developmental delays or disabilities (e.g., motor delays, speech or language impairments, autism spectrum disorders, emotional or behavioral disorders, low birth weight, chromosomal abnormalities, etc.) as well as those who are at risk for future delays. Teachers collaborate and consult with families and specialized service providers in designing and implementing individualized education program plans for children and the home, school, and community setting.
