Wow- this is all encouraging and incredibly helpful info! I had been wondering if DC might be a bit easier to get some special ed preschool services - I think I read elsewhere that DCPS will sometimes just pay part/all private tuition for hearing loss kids b/c they haven't historically done a good job meeting needs internally.  I will call and ask for an IEP meeting.  Here in Idaho at her "transition" meeting (from early intervention to public schools at age 3) they said it is sometimes easier to qualify for services after they turn 3 because the norms for language for 2 year olds are pretty relaxed..

Most encouraging is that I got an email back from an admissions person at The River School today and will speak with them tomorrow. The email suggested they may have openings for both girls. I'm trying not to be too hopeful, but it would just be an incredibly amazing fit for both my kids. And the financial aid sounds encouraging. I'd guess that our "need" determination is going to be the same whether I enroll one or both girls.  Hopefully this will be our solution and I can tackle housing next!

Thanks all for your info and suggestions and a special thanks to 15:07 for that fantastic recommendation on where to live. A move to DC area when you've never been there and are on tight budget is overwhelming to say the least, so concrete suggestions are just so helpful.  Thanks!![/quote]
