[quote=Anonymous]Regular public school can be hell for a child with sensory issues. It's incredibly loud and chaotic, from waiting in line to enter the classroom before school starts, recess and lunch to center time where all the kids in the room seem to be talking all at once.
For these children, an educational consultant once described it to me as going to school in a place where the fire alarms are ringing all the day.
OP, if your child's sensory issues are this severe I would make every effort possible to find a more comfortable place until he's old enough to handle the environment better. There was a boy at our school who had pretty severe sensory issues and every recess he would huddle in a corner with his hands over his ears, crying.

It was very difficult for the parents because I think he was doing well in many other ways, e.g. could handle the school work and had friends. The school would not provide any accommodations for recess and lunch unfortunately so he was stuck.[/quote]
