I just don't know. I think he's too old for the LARC program. But as a parent I don't know if I am making the right decision.[/quote]

I just looked at the LARC description.  He's not too old.  Most SN schools have mixed aged classes and if you go back to a mainstream public or private, there will definitely be kids his age b/c holding boys back from K for various reasons is pretty common around here.  (Regardless of what people think of the practice, it happens.)

I can relate to what you're saying about the public schools.  It's frustrating that a kid won't be given services off the bat.  So often they wait until a kid is really struggling and then what they offer is far from sufficient.

If fine motor skills are a concern, I would lean toward Kingsbury.  It doesn't matter if a kid is a genius, if they can't hold a pencil correctly or write with any proficiency, how are they supposed to "access the curriculum?"  He may need additional OT services than what is offered during the class day, and it will be easier to schedule these services b/c you'll be right there.[/quote]
