[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on your child's needs, the school and teacher.  We did all private.  Had friends who did just PEP and some who did both.  Most who did both much preferred the private over PEP.    We are not happy with the school provided services.  They don't compare to private.[/quote]

When you say private, do you mean regular private preschool or a private school that is geared towards special needs?[/quote]

I think she means private therapies.  Which is a complete different subject.  Most kids in PEP get private therapy, and no one is claiming that PEP takes the place of private therapies.  So it's kind of a ridiculous post.

PEP is preschool.  It's not meant to replace private individual ST, OT, or PT.[/quote]

No, we did everything privately.  The county gave us a huge run around and we were not impressed with what we saw.  We gave up and did private only.  We did preschool, speech and ot.  Now getting public services at school and they are terrible.  We still do private.  [/quote]

So, you didn't qualify for PEP, never tried PEP, but you are here to tell us that private school is so much better than PEP.  Okay.  We will give that all the weight it deserves.[/quote]

My child would have qualified, no question but every time we called, we got a run around.  It made more sense to go private.  The parents we talked to who did both PEP and private were far happier with private over PEP.  We are now at public with an IEP and the services are worthless compared to what we get privately.  PEP is fine, some classrooms are very good but it depends on the child and their needs.  We found I & T and later Child Find when we did try to go PEP very difficult to work with and they kept losing our paperwork and not returning calls.  We gave up.  We found affordable ways to do it and fought our insurance for about a year to cover speech, OT and PT after private paying.  It was also a huge fight to get an IEP when we went to public.  We had tons of documentation and they refused it initially.  Its probably just an issue with our home school.[/quote]
