[quote=Anonymous]We are in the process of having our DD evaluated for possible sensory issues (our ped does not think she will get any diagnosis and will outgrow her issues in time but we still want to do it), but we are contemplating enrolling her in nursery school next fall when she is just over 2.5 because her pediatrician thinks it could actually help her because some of her issues are social. I am a bit concerned that it will be too much for her, so wondering when others with kids who have more mild sensory issues put their kids in school for the first time and how their DCs did. Is there anything we can do to help prepare her?

Our main concern is that she gets upset/anxious in group settings with lots of other kids (its not a noise issue, she just doesn't like things like birthday parties, group classes, etc where kids are running around). She also has trouble with transitions and going to new places. She isn't independent at all and is very clingy to DH and I, as well as our nanny when we're working (like always glued to our sides). Some of her bigger sensory issues are that she hates baths/getting her face wet, hates being touched by anyone she doesn't know (and isn't affectionate at all), doesn't play with many of her toys, and a few others.

I prefer to wait another year but DH thinks going to school will be good for her in the long run and help her overcome some of her issues. Would love to know what others think. [/quote]
