[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No IEP - the feeling is he would be okay in a smaller setting without this.  I'm apprehensive to start down this road - I know he can get tested through Child Find and then placed through PEP, but I don't want him going in with any labels (since it doesn't appear to be "necessary").  Additionally, it does not seem as if Child Find assesses emotional/sensory related issues - only more of the behavioral stuff and these are not the issues he is faced with.  I would be curious to learn more about IEP's though and how these work, what services they provide in the traditional classroom setting, etc.  I've been told by a professional that the services provided through Child Find/PEP wouldn't necessarily be of much help to my son and that if anything, he could be mislabeled as a child with behavioral issues, when the issues are actually related to emotional disregulation. Anone out there have experience with an IEP for a child with sensory/emotional disregulation issues?[/quote]

The labels thing is ridiculous.  It sounds like your child has some special needs and YOU don't want to label him as such.  An IEP would get him free services and you don't want to go down this road?  You should be posting on the SN board.  PEP is free preschool.  Why wouldn't you want it?  [/quote]

I agree.  Also, it's January.  Your son is starting kindergarten in the fall.  The PEP ship has sailed.  Either your son has developmental delays and needs PEP/IEP/Child Find or he does not.  You can't freak out about labels and start whining about "those kids with behavioral problems (oh the horrors!) and then whine about how you need to handpick your precious darling's school because of his problems which can't be labeled as behavioral, except that he can't be around too many children -- or what, he freaks out?  You are a ridiculous moron.[/quote]
