Summary
The county approved agreements with center-based preschool special education providers to serve children ages 3–5, preserving access to OT, PT and speech services on the existing provider list. Commissioner Manning was noted present for the vote.
Albany County officials voted to authorize agreements with center-based preschool special education providers to serve children ages 3 to 5 who are identified with disabilities.
The clerk introduced the item, and a department staff member identified in the meeting as Miss Martin described the services covered: "This this is, for children ages 3 to 5 who are identified as having a disability. So they're served through the CPSC, approved services such as OT, PT, speech," she said. She confirmed the agreements cover center-based programs on the same provider list previously used.
The approval keeps the county's provider network intact for early-intervention therapies critical to individualized education programs for preschool children. The board moved and approved the item by voice vote.
The meeting record noted Commissioner Manning in attendance during the discussion. No dollar amount for these specific provider agreements was disclosed in the transcript.
