We'll walk you through it, step by step.
Getting services for your child can feel like a maze of acronyms. It isn't, really — and you won't do it alone. Here's exactly how it works and where we fit in.
Is my child eligible?
✓ Lives in New York
Services are funded through your county & school district.
✓ Birth to 12 years
From Early Intervention through elementary school.
✓ A diagnosed or suspected delay
You don't need answers yet — a suspicion is enough to start.

The enrollment journey
1
Reach out to us
Fill out the request form or call. We'll listen, answer questions, and point you to the right starting place — Early Intervention (under 3) or your district's CPSE (3+).
2
Evaluation & referral
A free evaluation determines your child's needs and results in an IFSP or IEP. Your county or district can refer your child to Little Village — you can request us by name.
3
Visit & meet the team
Tour the school, meet teachers and therapists, and see the classrooms.
4
Placement & first day
Once placement is approved, we handle the logistics — including transportation — and welcome your child in. And we stay in touch with you every step after.
$0
There is no tuition, ever.
As a publicly funded program, all education, therapy, and transportation come at no cost to qualifying families.
Questions families ask
No. If you have a concern about your child's development, that's reason enough to reach out. We'll help you understand the evaluation process.
