[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]he's already going to be an "old" Kindergartener. Is he going in with an IEP? If so, then I wouldn't hold him back. He'll be almost 2 years older than some of his peers. It will hurt him in the end. My child was in the same boat as you. He has a December birthday and is autistic. With an IEP, he got the assistence he needed to make up for the deficits. If you wait until they are too old, then your child is playing with kids who are not his peers at all. Is that the kind of roll-modelling that you want for your child?[/quote] I do believe that if you decide to hold back you are not eligibile for an IEP ( I believe I was told his for MOCO). However, I do not think it's a horrible thing and that you are ruining your child's life by making the choice. It's a personal decision--right for some children and not right for others.[/quote]
