Early Childhood Evaluation

HCCSC offers a continuum of services for children ages 3 to 5 who are eligible under Indiana’s special education rules.

The preschool assessment team offers a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation in a preschool classroom setting. The Early Childhood Speech and Language Pathologists offer a "speech only" evaluation for those families that are only concerned with their child's speech development.  

Special Education services are provided in a variety of settings appropriate to meet the needs of each child. Developmental preschool classrooms and "speech-only" sessions are examples. Currently, HCCSC preschool classrooms are located in Flint Springs Elementary School.

Peer Friends are "typically-developing" peers who join our classrooms to promote positive communication and relationships and have fun!
