Special Education Services

Olentangy’s preschool program is a special needs preschool program that integrates typically-developing preschool students (peer models) with special needs students.

Peer Model

NOTICE: The preschool peer model program is currently full for the 2021-22 school year. New applicants will be considered and, if they meet the criteria, will be placed on a waitlist.
Preschool is non-compulsory education, therefore the district has established criteria to select peers to best serve as models of age-appropriate skills for children demonstrating delays in their development. Peer models must by 4 by December 31 to start the first day of school.
