Early Childhood Special Education

Early intervention is critical for children who have developmental delays. The Shawnee Mission School District provides early childhood special education services for children ages 3, 4, and 5 who meet the eligibility requirements for special education. The school staff and parents work together to determine how to best meet a child's needs. 

We generally serve three groups of children in our classrooms, as detatiled below:
