Advocates call for NYC preschoolers with disabilities to receive mandated services
01.20.2022 | PIX 11 | One out of every three preschoolers with disabilities attending a city-run 3K program did not receive their mandated services during the 2019-2020 school year, according to Advocates for Children of New York.
Those services include speech therapy, occupational therapy, and special education instruction.
