Dear Parents,
If you have any concerns about your preschool age child's development, please contact the Lynnfield Preschool. Our staff offers screenings of your child in order to help determine if there may be a need for a special education evaluation. Typically, the best time for us to screen students is when they are 2.9 years of age. However, our staff is here as a resource for you at any time. Please contact Alexandra Pierre, Preschool Director, to discuss your concerns and she will be able to guide you through the process.

Speech & Language
This website was designed as a resource for Lynnfield parents, guardians, and educators to learn more about speech and language development and therapy.
Within the public school setting, students may receive speech-language services if they present with a communication disorder that impacts their ability to access the curriculum. Therapy may focus on the development of a student's receptive and expressive language, articulation, fluency, and/or social skills.
