EARLY CHILDHOOD ASSESSMENT/SPECIAL

EARLY CHILDHOOD ASSESSMENT/SPECIAL is a Title I public prekindergarten school that is part of the Minneapolis Public School District school district, located in MINNEAPOLIS, MN. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.

The facility located at 2410 Girard Ave N in Minneapolis serves as the hub for the **Minneapolis Public Schools’ Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) assessment services**. Rather than operating as a traditional K-12 classroom school, this site functions as a specialized evaluation center where children (typically ages birth to five) are referred to determine if they qualify for state-funded early intervention and special education support.

The primary purpose of this location is to provide comprehensive developmental screenings and multi-disciplinary assessments. Specialists—such as speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and early childhood educators—work here to evaluate a child’s cognitive, motor, social-emotional, and communication skills. If a child is found to have a qualifying developmental delay or disability, the team at this facility helps families navigate the process of creating an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) to ensure the child receives the necessary academic and therapeutic support before they reach kindergarten age.
