[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5 yr old is miserable at school. He is very verbal and not cognitively delayed but has gross motor/fine motor and sensory issues. He finally said today that there are too many kids and that it is too noisy for him. We cannot really afford private but where would you recommend in DC for smaller classes?[/quote] Does he have an IEP? Can he be moved to a self-contained classroom or is he too advanced? Part of the problem is that kindergarten and first grade classrooms involve a lot of collaborative work, singing, chants, etc. so the noise levels can sometimes affect children with sensory issues. Start by working with the SPED team at the current school to see how accommodations can be made. Otherwise look for more traditional classroom settings that you might find in Catholic schools or other private school settings. You might qualify for a scholarship so don't totally discount private school. [/quote]
