Ohio Department of Children and Youth providing online preschool special education resources

The preschool special education team is excited to share that there are now dedicated webpages on the Ohio Department of Children and Youth (DCY) website to support preschool special education providers, parents, and families. Topic areas include compliance requirements for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B and questions and answers that preschool parents and families have about the special education process.

These resources can be located on the DCY website under “For Families” and “For Providers,” or by searching “preschool special education” on the site. Direct questions to the preschool special education team at preschoolspecialeducation@childrenandyouth.ohio.gov.
