Correction:

A general description of the Early Choices program appeared in this column in our June/July issue. We have since received a letter from the Delaware Early Childhood Center, the program's administering agency, clarifying the program's scope and responsibilities. It reads in part:

Early CHOICES is an early intervention program providing childhood special education and related services to children with developmental delays three years of age and children with preschool speech delays three and four years of age. The services are provided on behalf of each school district in Kent and Sussex County and the districts of Red Clay and Colonial in New Castle County (except four-year-olds with preschool speech delays served by the Colonial School District)...

Early CHOICES is administered by the Delaware Early Childhood Center, (Harrington, DE)...Other districts in the State (Appoquinomink, Brandywine, Christina) also have the responsibility to serve similar children and operate their own programs for children with developmental delays and preschool speech delays.
