[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, in my 5 years on this journey (sounds trite) the biggest bill of goods I've been sold is typical peer exposure.  It is the least important thing for my kid and in some circumstances, detrimental.  That being said, at that age I fought the school system for other things with an advocate.  You would then move to a lawyer.    [/quote]

I have a 12 yo and I tend to disagree. It is very hard to get some kids back into an inclusive classroom once they have been isolated in a Special ed only class.[/quote]
I agree 100%.
Schools, especially FCPS, does what is most convenient for them and not what's in the best interest of the child. Placement is something that can have lifelong implications. We are fighting for an inclusive setting as well.[/quote]

There is plenty of time for inclusion when the child gets to kindergarten and beyond.[/quote]
Sure, throw them in segregated preschools only with SN kids during a crucial development stage of 2+ years, and then deal with the consequences in elementary. Winning strategy.  :roll: [/quote]

Is you concern that a three year old won't be able to observe and copy the social behaviors of typically developing peers? Or is a concern about academic skills or academic precursors? I'm not being sarcastic. I'm really trying to understand the crux of your argument. We have so many different options for children 3-5 here that quite a few kids with or without SN enter K having never had academics or long term peer group interaction. Surely they don't all have terrible consequences upon entering a typical K classroom?[/quote]
