Kinnelon School District
Programs for Children with Disabilities

Project Child Find is a community-wide activity conducted by Kinnelon Public Schools to increase public awareness in locating and identifying children ages 3 through 21 who may have a developmental delay or disability.

The Kinnelon School District is asking parents, educators, and members of local organizations to assist in locating preschool children with special needs. These special needs may include delays in the areas of speech and language, cognitive functioning, social and emotional skills, or problems with vision or hearing. The district offers free services to determine if the child is eligible for a preschool disabled program. In Kinnelon we believe that the early identification and intervention are important prerequisites for future success within the school setting.

The preschool disabled program provides students with speech and language stimulation, individualized instruction, and a variety of hands-on experiences which take place in a child-centered environment. Preschool children, eligible for the program, attend at no expense to parents or guardians.

Do you know a preschool child who:

¢ Has problems communicating?
¢ Has difficulty understanding directions?
¢ Has poor coordination, appears clumsy or awkward?
¢ Has frequent temper tantrums?
¢ Has a problem hearing sounds or seems unusually quiet?
¢ Is experiencing delays in any area of development?

If so, the Kinnelon Preschool Disabled Program may be able to help. Please don't wait, call today for more information.

If you are a resident in Kinnelon and you have a child with special needs who would benefit from this program, please call the Department of Special Services at 973-838-1418 Ext. 112 between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM to schedule an appointment.
