Services for Preschoolers

Services for Preschoolers

The Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD) offers a continuum of special education services to preschool-aged children with communication and/or developmental delays.

Preschool Child Find

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) includes the Child Find requirement. Child Find requires all school districts to identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities, regardless of their severity. If you suspect your child's development is delayed, please contact the Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD) Special Education Department at (916) 630-2232 for more information regarding a possible assessment. Please also click here for the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) developmental milestone information. 

Infant Transition to Preschool (Part C to B)

Moving from Part C (infant services ages 0-3) to another program is known as transition. It is an important time in the lives of children with disabilities and their families. Many children who received Part C services remain eligible for special education services under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which requires schools to provide assessments and specialized instruction to individuals with disabilities ages 3 to 21. For more information regarding this process, please click here.
