[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just moved from out of state. Does anyone have a child similar to mine? Where do they go to school? He is 4 years old. Cannot crawl or walk, fine motor is so delayed he cannot self feed, but is otherwise smart? He knows his colors and letters, for example. He enjoyed the preschool through our school district last year, but as he gets older, I get worried about the lack of progress with fine motor. Our last school didn't really address self help skills, despite being in his IEP. It was way more academic than I was expecting.  Will FCPS be the same? I'm starting to wonder despite the apparent intelligence, I need to think about places like St. Coletta's. At least for a year or two while he still has a lot of brain plasticity and can make a lot of progress in OT and learning those skills. [/quote]

Where do you live?

St. Coletta's is not for kids who don't also have intellectual deficits.

In MD or Virginia the public preschool options will be part time. You can and probably should find private services for the other days to work on what the child isn't getting enough of in school. [/quote]

We live in NOVA, but we are renting, so after getting to know things, we can move if need be. [/quote]
