[quote=Anonymous]I would take a two-track approach given what you've described. As soon as they arrive, reach out to Early Stages (part of DCPS) which will do an evaluation and help advise on a DC public school placement. If the children are behind developmentally that will give the younger one priority to secure a spot in a PreK 3 or PreK 4 program and appropriate services for the older one. That placement may or may not abe at your neighborhood DCPS school - depending on the issues. At the same time you should try to enter the lottery. Ideally they arrive before the March 1 deadline, but if not you can still enter the 'post-lottery' process to try and secure a space at a DC Charter school. Among charters I would recommend looking at Bridges and CMI, both of which have small class sizes and are very much about including children with all kinds of learning differences. There may be other good options you will hear about here. [/quote]
