Children ages 3 to 5 with suspected or identified developmental or learning delays may receive an evaluation and early intervention services through the Durham Public Schools Office of Early Education. Early intervention services are based on a child’s identified needs and may include special education support from teachers, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and/or physical therapy. For children who are eligible, an “Individualized Education Plan” or IEP is developed in partnership with families to establish which services a child receives.
