[quote=Anonymous]My child is being recommended for PEP and our IT service coordinator has
indicated (although I realize she can only recommend, not place him) that the
team thinks PEP C is the right placement for him. The other suitable placement
would be PEP Classic. I understand that in PEP C 3 year olds do not get a nap. 
With 5 hours of instruction and bus transportation that means at least a 6 hour
day. My kid has some low grade medical issues, one of the symptoms of which is
fatigue. He takes at least a two hour (if not longer) nap every day. What kind
of accommodations do they have to make for us? I don't think he can physically
sustain 5 hours of instruction, 5 days a week for the long term. Has anyone
else dealt with this?

Also, I originally posted this to an SN list I'm on and one mom said that they will let her kid use a cot if needed.  
It seems unhealthy to me to ask a kid who truly needs sleep to go without it.  I wonder about asking the system 
to make scheduling changes. Ideally, I'd like my kid to have more instruction that Pep classic (4 days a week for 2.5 hours) 
and less than C (5 days, 5 hours).  [/quote]
