Early Intervention Services are available for children in preschool. These services do not come from the
school but are through Delaware County Intermediate Services (DCIU). Preschool special education services
are free to eligible children. The process begins with a telephone call from the child’s parent or legal
guardian to the DCIU Preschool Special Education Department (610-938-2830 ext. 6503). A secretary will
record some basic information and ask about specific learning concerns. A screening packet will then be sent
to the family in the mail, to be completed and returned to our office. Based upon this screening
information, the family will then be contacted regarding further assessment.
Our school has a Reading Specialist for grades 1 - 4, an EP Consultant for students who qualify in
grades k - 8, a Language/Speech Therapist for grades k - 8, a School Counselor for grades k - 8, and a
School Psychologist to for grades k - 8. All of these specialists are provided to us through the Delaware
County Intermediate Unit (DCIU). Specific information about these services can be found at dciu.org or by
emailing the specialist directly.
SCJN school also has an Instructional Support Team (IST). If a child is struggling with academics or
behavior, a parent or teacher may request to set up an IST meeting. During the IST, the parents, teachers,
IST Coordinator, any member of the DCIU team that works with the child, and the principal meet, identify the
issues to be addressed, and try to brainstorm solutions or goals to help the student. Additional IST
meetings are set up as is deemed necessary.
