NYC Public Schools’ CSE/CPSE directory helps families find the office responsible for preschool special education for children ages 3–5 and for certain school-age students ages 5–21, including those in private, religious, charter, and specified nonpublic schools, homeschooled students, and students not attending school. The page lists district assignments, phone numbers, email addresses, and office locations, and explains how to submit an evaluation referral. Preschool offices are assigned by home address; school-age assignments generally depend on school location, with exceptions explained on the page.
