What is C.H.I.L.D.?

C.H.I.L.D. is here to support any parent with questions or concerns about their child's learning, development, or emotional well-being.  C.H.I.L.D. is a committee of the Scarsdale PT Council. We function like a PTA for families across the district with children who:

• Struggle with school work, homework or social emotional functioning 

• Has an IEP or 504 accommodation plan, is a preschool student with a disability or is going through the evaluation process 

• We offer a network of support, information and resources to parents and teachers.
