And we need the city to keep going to ensure there is a preschool special education class for every child who needs one this year, because we know that the need grows throughout the school year,\u201d Levine said.\r\n\r\nThe education department says that as of this fall, it has met the need for special education seats, but will add more later this year, anticipating more children will need spots then.\r\n\r\nDavis says she thinks they should also do a better job explaining the special education system to parents.\r\n\r\n\u201cJust explain the process. So everybody is very clear on it. So we can, we can get these things. And \u2014 make more seats available, teachers available, paraprofessionals, everything, because it's now a shortage that we're aware of. So let's do something about it,\u201d she said.\r\n\r\n\u201cThese preschool special education classes and services help some children say their first words, take their first steps, learn to play with other children,\u201d Levine told NY1. \u201cChildren with autism should not have to sit at home while other children get to go to preschool. It's not fair, and it's a violation of [the] law. Dezmin will never get back the time he missed last year.
