Welcome to Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) in San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD)!  We are here to support preschool-age children with developmental delays.  This form will begin the process of referring your child for Special Education Assessment, which is the first step toward determining if your child is eligible to receive Special Education services in SDUSD.  After completing the form, one of our case managers will contact you to continue the referral process.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED THIS FORM FOR YOUR CHILD: Please contact us at spedpreschoolreferrals@sandi.net to confirm that we received your request for referral.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THIS FORM MORE THAN ONCE PER CHILD!


WE HAVE A NEW FORM FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR.  Please follow this link to complete the referral form for ECSE assessment request:  https://forms.gle/kUTQ8oif3qFm9vz87
