Opportunity Gap: How to Support Kids of Color Who Learn Differently

Understanding preschool services

Early intervention refers to services that help kids from birth to age three with developmental delays. But what services are available after kids turn 3? The answer: preschool services. 

In this episode, we welcome Elisa Lundy. Elisa is a special education teacher who works in preschool classrooms in the New York City area. Listen as she:

  • Explains the similarities between preschool services and early intervention
  • Shares how preschool services can help a child’s social, emotional, and physical development
  • And tells us how families can access these services in their school
