Children At Play Early Intervention Center (CAP)

Children At Play Early Intervention Center (CAP) has proudly served the Staten Island community since 1989, providing high-quality, individualized services for children and adults with special needs. CAP offers comprehensive evaluations, Special Education Itinerant Services (SEIS), and a variety of additional supports designed to help individuals reach their full potential. In 2017, CAP expanded its programs to include OPWDD waiver services, including Self-Direction, for both children and adults.
Evaluating Needs, Supporting Growth
Evaluations
Children At Play is an approved screening and evaluation site for infants, toddlers, and young children suspected of having developmental delays or disabilities. Evaluations are provided at no direct cost to parents through the NYC Department of Education (CPSE). Our New York State licensed and certified professionals conduct screenings and assessments that may address all areas of development or focus on specific concerns.

SEIS
Special Education Itinerant Services (SEIS) provide eligible preschool children with individualized support from a Special Education Itinerant Teacher (SEIT) while attending a community preschool or daycare. Services are provided according to the child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). The SEIT works directly with the child, collaborates with classroom teachers, adapts instructional methods and environments, and provides activities designed to support progress toward educational goals.
