Enrollment Eligibility Requirements

To be enrolled, applicants must have either an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Family Support Plan (FSP). Children under 3 years old must be part of the Early Steps Program under a Family Support Plan, while those older than 3 years old must have an IEP. For those without an IEP, we will assist families in initiating the process through their neighborhood school or Child Find. Once eligibility is confirmed, the enrollment process will proceed in accordance with our policies and procedures.

Applicants with social, relational, mental health, and behavioral challenges will be assessed and provided with appropriate support in an individualized setting.

Applicants must demonstrate therapeutic intervention needs, such as in independent ambulation, speech and language, communication, social skills, visual perception, sensory processing, auditory processing, behavior, and/or self-help/independence. Students typically experience challenges in communicating basic wants and needs, ambulating or accessing their environment, eating/swallowing, hearing or vision deficits, fine motor skills, sensory processing, developmental delay, and emotional regulation.

For therapy services covered by medical insurance for Speech Language Pathology (SLP), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Physical Therapy (PT), a physician’s order must be provided.

Enrollment Materials for Siblings

If you indicated on your completed Commitment Form that you would like to enroll a sibling in the 2025-2026 school year, please pick up the enrollment materials from the Front Office. If you have not received your child’s 2025-2026 enrollment materials, please visit the Front Office to collect the necessary forms.

Students whose parents/guardians fail to return the Commitment Letter form to the Administrative Office by the deadline above will not be guaranteed enrollment for the upcoming school year. In such cases, parents will be required to participate in the pre-enrollment process with new students seeking admission to the school through the lottery.

Lottery Process

Following the closure of open enrollment, a determination will be made whether a lottery is necessary for each grade based on the number of applications received compared to available seats. If a lottery is required, a random selection process will take place. If your child’s lottery number is drawn, you will receive an offer letter. Applicants not selected in the lottery will be added to a waiting list. Throughout the year, if a seat becomes available, offers will be extended via email based on the communication preferences indicated on the application. The school maintains waiting lists, so there is a possibility of receiving an offer at any point during the school year.
