[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, 
My child was at the children's school/reed school in the special ed class last year and there were two children who age-wise should have been in K but were in the four year old class instead. (It was a great program, btw, if you wanted to check it out.) There seemed to be a wide range in terms of the SN kids.
Anyway, it seems like Arlington doesn't have a problem with it and if you think its the best fit for your son (to start late), why not?

OP again - I just checked out The Children's School, but according to the APS website, it's only for children of APS employees.  Is that correct?  Also to 15:01 poster - APS is telling us he has to go to K next year.

To 13:11 poster - aren't SN kids eligible to stay in school until they are 22?  If so, does it matter when they get an extra year?  My thought is that earlier is better, given the importance of early intervention (my son had autism).  And are they only entitled to be held back once?  For example, if my child can't fulfill the reqm'ts for HS graduation, can't he repeat a year then (as well as now)?[/quote]
