[quote=Anonymous]My guess is that there (probably legitimate) defense is that because there are NO programs available to other students, the special needs program is, in fact, the least restrictive environment that can meet your child's need.  There is no other alternative.
I'm confused about what you want.  Do you want the distrcit to just pay for the preschool placement at a regular preschool?  How will that help meet the needs of your child as laid out in the IEP?  How will services be rendered for your child in that scenario?
Private placements are used when the school district can't meet the child's needs within the available programs/classrooms.  A private, not-special-needs preschool doesn't have any special resources that the district doesn't, and in fact will give your child fewer resources than in the district programs.

I know there are lots of districts around here that have programs with "peer" students and special needs students.  But if that isn't the program available, I'm having a hard time seeing how the district paying for a private preschool gets you where you want to be or what your child needs.[/quote]
