[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks so much for the info! Do you mind sharing your impression of their approach?  I can't visit until JAnuary ao just trying to get a sense of whether it's really an option.  [/quote]

We went for a morning visit.  I don't know if I can tell you much about their approach---a better person would probably be someone who has a child enrolled in the school.  From what I saw though, they start the morning with circle time and have the children interact by answering various questions--what is the day, what is the weather, what month is it, etc.  Then they read a story and there is Q&A about what is going on in the story.  That was followed by some free play time when the children were pulled out for therapy.  Therapy happens one on one and there is an observation window.   There's an observation window to the main classroom as well.  The therapy session I observed was well done.  The therapist had planned a number of skills to work on, they were play based and the child seemed very happy to be engaged.  The children who are left in the classroom remain with other therapists and this is when I was told that the pragmatics would occur--the therapists help to facilitate the play.
