[quote=Anonymous]My daughter entered the ECSE program in January to address some speech issues and a couple other things, like being able to respond to directives without needing modeling. Her teachers were TREMENDOUS and between January and June she made amazing progress. She has a late august birthday so we decided to take the pre k exception and give her another year in her private preschool and the ECSE class she was in through the public schools. We had the IEP meeting in May and were assured she would continue on this year with the same class and teachers.

Well, in June we got a letter that her services had been reassigned to another elementary school. It turns out, we are not inbound for the school she was in and the class filled up with inbound kids and my daughter got the boot. This was the school we had been assigned after she was deemed eligible for services so I was floored that there was ever a possibility she could NOT continue to go there. I fought as hard as I could but was told there was nothing to do about it and she would have to go to school B.

I tried to be optimistic but we had back to school night and I just don't know. I don't get a sense of confidence from these teachers. They don't give me the "it will be okay, they know what they're doing" feeling her old teachers did. I can't tell how much of this is me being dramatic and being nervous about change. My child made such great progress with her previous ECSE teachers (is on track to not need any services once in kindergarten) and I worry that amazing progress won't continue. Please give me any advice you might have if you have had a similar experience. I am being upbeat and positive for my child but inside I am anxious that this class won't be as good a fit for her and then what? [/quote]
