Ellsworth Hill Elementary School

The Hudson City Schools Integrated Preschool Program is an early intervention program for children with disabilities and typically developing children between the ages of 3-5 years.  Children are identified as having special needs through a multi-factored evaluation which consists of a play-based assessment performed by the school team (school psychologist, special education teacher, speech pathologist, occupational therapist and/or physical therapist).  Children with disabilities in our program have a wide range of needs including communication, hearing, motor (fine and/or gross), vision, cognition, adaptive behavior (self-help skills), and/or social/emotional/behavioral functioning.  Peer models are selected through a screening process which identifies peers who demonstrate typical skills in all areas and strong skills in the areas of social and communication.  The program offers a 'hands-on' teaching approach to promote academic, social, communicative, behavioral and motoric growth and development.  Our curriculum is based on the Ohio Department of Education's Early Learning and Development Standards.
