[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I appreciate the replies!

If we use Child Find, for example, does that mean we need to have her in the public school system?

I homeschool my older and when I had my younger, wanted to do the same.

Not looking to get into a debate over homeschooling, I am just asking a question because I don't know.[/quote]

No, you are under no obligation to use public schools. But if they find that your child qualifies for special education preschool, then you should seriously consider it - to get the benefit of their expertise (teachers with special education degrees and experience) and to give yourself a break as you say that you are exhausted. Just because you use a special education preschool doesn’t mean that you aren’t able to homeschool at some point. Also, kids with special needs, especially very young ones, are difficult to diagnose because of the wide variation in behavioral norms. You will someone else’s “eyes” on her to see how she acts in different situations.[/quote]
