[quote=Anonymous]My DS went to a preschool that claimed to be inclusive but really couldn't handle it.  I'm sure if I had asked all the right questions they would have given me all the right answers.  I don't think its about asking the right questions.

My regret was not sending him to a therapeutic preschool where he could have gotten what he needed.  The rule of thumb is to fit the school to the child, don't try to fit the child to the school.  Since you already know your DC has SN, I would look for a therapeutic preschool.

Also you should have a full evaluation by a developmental pediatrician.  SPD is an OT diagnosis, not a medical diagnosis.  It can exist without another diagnosis but often it is a symptoms of something else and the danger is that parents get the OT diagnosis and stop there, delaying the actual diagnosis.  Your DS is very young and he will have the benefit of early intervention.  You just want to make sure he's getting the right early intervention.

Also a developmental pediatrician could help you focus on the right schools.[/quote]
