Welcome to the Special Services' website. Kinnelon Special Services provides a continuum of programs, placements and related services to meet the needs of children who are eligible to receive special education services. The Preschool Disabled Program is a half-day program for children between the ages of three and five who are experiencing developmental delays in motor skills, social-emotional behavior, cognitive abilities, and/or speech and language development.

There is also a broad range of special education programs in each school in Kinnelon for students in grades K-12. Programs include resource center instruction and self-contained classes.
