[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for the advice and suggestions. He’s in preschool during the day but it’s not been a good fit so far for him. It’s not the best program but we don’t have private school money and the other daycare options are very mixed, and some aren’t options because they don’t take 3 year olds who aren’t potty trained. Looking into other options is on my to do list for December on top of everything else I have to do because I think we need a different program next year and some of the programs have January application deadlines (but just thinking about that gives me a headache on top of everything else).

Regarding Child Find, I read up on it but it seems they only do evaluations in areas he would pass. His issues aren’t social, cognitive, communication, etc. but simply behavioral. He did qualify for services with MoCo Infants Toddlers at 2 but that was because we pushed hard - he passed their assessments with flying colors and it was only because his eating they could categorize him as atypical development that he was able to get services. That said, the whole process them was a ton of work, time, paperwork, and meetings for me and the benefit was really not much - a few meetings with an SLP who watched me with him and then gave me some generic suggestions and handouts. I have an education background and just felt like the process was very condescending and not beneficial for a whole lot of effort. Given that, I feel like Childfind would be similar to this, no?

I think the development pediatrician is likely where I’m going next, and then maybe OT. I’m not against a KKI eval but I just did one with my older kid and am coordinating behavioral psychological services for them on top of dealing with their diagnoses and challenges and that is about all I have capacity for.

I’m just really struggling, being the parent of two SNs kids is taking a tremendous toll on me and my husband and our marriage. [/quote]
Are you in MoCo? I’d look into Karasik for daycare. They are inclusive and my ASD kid is really thriving there. If you have an IEP you will get priority on the waitlist.[/quote]
