[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all responses. It is true that my son has difficulty to communicate with teachers/other kids in this current preschool, and I don't think he understands fully the instructions & what they teach, but so far lucky that he seems not feeling less confident so far. He also tries his best to communicate with his limited words & body language to convey his ideas. But his preschool teacher keeps telling me that he understands more than he can talk, and he loves to be the teacher's little helper.

Even though he does not learn as much/fast as other kids, he is happy everyday from this current preschool. There was a few curious kids from his class ask me why he can't talk, I tell them he is working on it, but you guys are still friends. They accept that reason, and do not ask further. Kids are still innocent & simple-minded at his age. I really hope that he will catch up & improve more over time.

I agree with PP, and my son also learns the best when he imitates others. And, also I agree with another PP that I do also agree on some level that current preschool teachers & director are being on the nice side, "tolerate" & try to accommodate my DS's needs. I have never looked into special-need preschool, I'm curious in general how much do they cost per month for a 3 year old full day? We are currently paying $1,800 a month for my 3 year old at this current preschool full day. I think I will do a wait-and-see approach a bit to see how his perform & his progress, and will make a decision if he should stay or go.[/quote]

You might also find a sign language instructor, in addition to the speech therapy, and see if she can get him using some signs. Then you can have her go to school some and teach the teachers some signs. Ask around at the universities that have sign language degrees such as Towson and Gallaudet.[/quote]
