Special Education Itinerant Teacher (SEIT)
-
SEIT services are for children 3-5 years of age who are classified by their school district’s Committee on Preschool Education (CPSE) as a preschooler with a disability. SEIT services are provided by a certified special education teacher. SEIT services are individualized to the needs of the child, and may include:
- Implementation of the child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP)
- Implementation, coordination, and monitoring of the child’s behavior management program
- Collaboration with preschool directors and teachers
- Coordination of the child’s educational programs with teachers, therapists and parents
JPS SEITs also provide support to UPK students at risk for falling behind. This is achieved through remediation sessions which target critical skills for kindergarten success.
