The Special Education Bureau oversees programs that
assist three to five year old children who have developmental delays,
funded by the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part
B, 619, and the State of New Mexico. We are committed to supporting
services to young children in natural environments as much as possible,
so that young children receive instruction alongside typically developing
peers, and engage with developmentally appropriate curriculum.
Staff coordinates
with agencies serving children birth to three with developmental
delays, i.e., early intervention programs administered by the Family
Infant Toddler Program at the Department of Health, and other programs
serving young children, e.g., Headstart. Our efforts are directed
at promoting a smooth and effective transition between programs,
avoiding gaps in service as children graduate from one set of services
to another.
