The Office of Pupil Personnel Services in the Comsewogue School District provides special services to students in the areas of Special Education, Section 504 Accomodations, Special Instruction, Psychology, Social Work, Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Vision and Hearing Services, Educational Evaluation and Home Tutoring, when needed.

When students have difficulty in school despite attempts at remediation, school personnel or parents can submit a request for an evaluation to the building principal or directly to the Committee on Special Education (CSE). Parents and early childhood educators who are concerned about a preschooler’s development can submit a request for evaluation to the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE). The evaluation, under CSE or CPSE, will include any procedures, tests, assessments, or observations given to determine whether the student has an educational disability and is eligible for special education and/or related services. Recommendations from this evaluation may or may not include classification of the child as a student with a disability.

Home Tutoring (also known as Homebound Instruction) is provided to students on a temporary basis when a student is unable to attend school for a prolonged period (at least two weeks) because of a short-term disability. Medical documentation must be attached to the request form, which can be obtained in the main office in each building.

Our SEPTA Presidents for 2006-2007 are Julia Balzarano and Donna Cimaglia.
