[quote=Anonymous]2.8 would  probably be too young for Maddux this year for an immediate placement perhaps start going to open houses etc for next year. Also I guess question for any school is if your child really needs an aide certain schools would not work. Some preschools are okay with it, but just have to call around. If your child does not, then probably have more options. Don't think maddux allows aides, and although they have great clasif size, may not be a good option if a child requires too much one on one attention. Ostensibly,   They are not a school for asd as the ivy mount school is there for that population.  They have a regular Ed program, but they do serve kids who have some needs. Some of the needs they serve and milder spectrum issues do of course intersect, so there are probably children there with various diagnoses, or no diagnoses at all. They are  willing to observe the child on a playdate and look at reports etc. I think they are pretty thoughtful about if they can help your child and will be upfront about it. Well worth checking out.

I believe Children's Learning Center (clc) and the Treatment and Learning Center  TLC may also have specialized preschool programs.  The LEAP program at the University of Maryland is also a fantastic preschool focused on speech but is also good with other issues. However, they do not usually take children on the spectrum or with more difficult behavior issues. They often haveva wait list, but openings do come up. Might be worthwhile to call them and ask if they would be at least willing to take a look.  In terms of other schools, Dolley Madison Preschool in McLean has a long established  inclusion program in terms of speech therapy.  It's a regular preschool but they are usually welcoming of children with needs.  They are  close to the gw parkway and chain bridge in McLean so not too far from dc. They start at 2.5 years old.

Good luck to you with your little one. There are alot of good options in the area to treat your child  component issues regardless of the diagnosis.[/quote]
