Not OP and not in NY but-in my experience also, once they are enrolled in services (like preschool) they go along with their age group-meaning her DD has to start k after preschool.

OP-wow your dd sounds so similar to mine! Also 3.5, not potty trained, language delay (no motor skills issues though). She is making progress in twice weekly speech therapy on an IEP (our discrict offered her a spot in preschool but I declined for now) but it still quite behind in language. I just dont know. I'm reading the thread to get ideas, myself.

My dh is also somewhat resistant to having her looked at. I'm not even sure where to find a developmental ped (probably at USF, I'm in Tampa Bay area). Dh himself was a language impaired child, as was his younger brother-his family seems to think it's normal  :shock: Anyhow, I think the PP's idea to get on a waitlist with the ped, and just do it and now worry about dh, is good and I might take the advice as well  :) [/quote]

Also not OP or PP, but your child also sounds a lot like my son! We are in DC and started full-time PK3 through the public schools when my son was a couple weeks before his 3rd birthday and it was pretty much a disaster - he was also late to potty train which became a major issue with the school. We were pushed hard to get him evaluated for SN (we didn't realize there were many issues until school started. he was on the late side for many milestones but not over the threshold of concern; he was also far more withdrawn and refused to speak at school). The evaluation found he had a 1-year language delay and likely ASD. We got him in private OT + ST, and he was getting OT, ST, and ABA therapy at school. He responded incredibly to therapy and is now on grade level or above grade level across the board and was re-evaluated and ASD diagnosis removed (but watching for ADHD issues). He also got held back in PK3 at the school's recommendation and so now is one of the older students. Where previously he would not participate in any activities, he's very excited about classes now (some of this is just age). All I would say is that our SN coordinator at his school says children often respond extremely well to therapy at this age and it can do nothing but help. I would try to seek out whatever services you can including private if you can manage it (I was able to get partial insurance reimbursement). Good luck to you and hugs, this is a very tough thing to go through.[/quote]
