[quote=Anonymous]OP here-thank you for the suggestions! I visited Little Buds on Friday and I had a similar reaction as the previous poster. The facility was small and there was no playground. I saw some upbeat aides but some looked tired and unhappy. I am a novice with the ABA but I don’t understand how this will be helpful if my kid has major sensory issues that cause anxiety. The director was saying that the sensory issues get resolved when they control the external environment but my mommy instinct/understanding of sensory processing issues doesn’t agree with this. I am going to pursue ABA at a preschool instead of Little Buds.(If he doesn’t get the diagnosis next month at KKI then we can’t do ABA anyway because we need the diagnosis to get it covered).

Thanks also for the Karasik suggestion. I looked into this two years ago for my son but I was put off by the large class sizes and the director was so difficult to get in touch with. I had to call Sharon repeatedly and email too for weeks before I could get a response. Also at the time we were looking at the afternoon and the PEP model was in flux for the afternoon and she wouldn’t follow up with me after several attempts to get clarity about the PEP. I did call her last week and she hasn’t called me back but I am certainly willing to give it another shot. My son needs a really small class size given his anxiety. Do you happen to know if the twos class is smaller?

I am going to tour Geneva soon as I learned their afternoon twos class has 4-6 kids and two teachers. Amazing! I have heard they are very willing to work with special needs students and have allowedPEP itinerant and an ABA aide in the classroom. I am also touring Potomac Glen Day School too.[/quote]
