[quote=Anonymous]We are struggling with the same issue for our 4 yr old in preK. He is the youngest in his mainstream public school classroom with a summer birthday so he would be red shirted by most privates anyway. He has aspergers so his main issue is the socialization and the lack of interaction with his peers. Academically he does well and he attends an immersion language school. We are in the process of getting an IEP so we will see how it goes in kindergarten. So far without supports, his playing with peers seems to be improving with encouragement from his teachers but we're hoping with supports, his social deficits won't be a reason to hold him back. He has three "girlfriends" in class who help him along and so far, the teachers have created a very nurturing environment where he isn't teased for his differences. Of course, this does not mean it'll be the same for kindergarten so it's very worrisome. Best of luck to you OP![/quote]
