[quote=Anonymous]All, 
Sorry if this has been discussed before but I could not find it.

Our son (26 months) is currently in the DC EIP (Early Intervention Program) and we have been pleased with the results so far as it helped him with the production of more signals, words, and sentences. 
We understand that when he reaches the 3-year-old mark and if he is found to be eligible, there is an opportunity to continue this program with 2 different formats: 
- One option is to extend the DC EIP for one more year and continue the weekly meetings with the speech therapist at home. 
- The other option is to go through the DC Public School System where the service will be provided on-school premises directly. We understand this provides at the age of 3 a guaranteed spot, at a school potentially close to our place in the NW. 
Both are free options and look interesting to us. The DC EIP people are leaving the decision with us although their comparison table slightly favors the extension of their own program.

Has any of you tried the DC Public School option? If so, I'd love to hear any positive and negatives insights, especially as I am sure there are aspects we have not considered.

Thanks in advance for all your help. 
Looking forward to discussing with you. 
Have a good Sunday.
