[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had a great experience with special education in DCPS preK, wishing your family all the best! Many of the preK programs are strong, so esp. if your child with be in an inclusion setting with push-in/pull-out services (Early Stages will help you figure this out) I would live where it makes sense for your family/budget/commute and they will try to place you a preK-3 program near your home.

Thanks, this is very reassuring! We have finished 3 out of the 5 assessments (1 tomorrow) for NY CPSE and all have said they are recommending some form of inclusion setting. We still need to wait for the end of the month for it to be formalized, but I am already overwhelmed, given the situation in NY is a mad rush to get your child added to every waitlist for private special education programs, followed by negotiating with your school district to cover some, or all, of the fees. The DC program seems more clear cut, but we've had a lot of anxiety over whether we are doing the right thing, pulling our child out of the private system (many of the schools are far out of our budget anyway, though) in favor of the DCPS options. Our child will need a lot of support in terms of language development, but we can't pay the 40-60k/year tuition here.  :shock: [/quote]
