[quote=Anonymous]DD is in PEP Pilot (ashburton).  She was moved one month into PEP Classic (5 days) to PEP Pilot (2 days) because she needed NT peers (we agreed).  Her speech and OT was also reduced to once per month (we mistakenly agreed).

Her "regular" preschool which she goes to in mornings is no longer working for her (not enough structure) and we want to get her more PEP services.  We are not sure whether PEP Collaboration (5 days) is an appropriate placement after visiting (large class, NT kids are ESOL which might not help with primary, pragmatic issues).  Is there something else we can ask for in addition to PEP Pilot 2 days per week?  We feel that although she has a lot of strengths, the 2 days will NOT get her to public kindergarten and we need more.  I think with some fist banging they will agree to increase therapies to once per week - but the PEP system doesn't seem to be designed for a kid "on the cusp" - when typical preschool will not work, PEP Classic is too much, and PEP Pilot is not enough.

Am I missing some other option? Can PEP Pilot be more than 2 days, or is there some other option?  Do we need an advocate/consultant at this point to advise us?  Any suggestions would be most welcome. [/quote]
