Does DC really put these kids in PK3 general education classrooms? On paper it seems like that would be a disaster for them. I had always thought this program was intended for self-contained environments.[/quote]

Yes. Research supports that early placement is actually particularly good for kids needing SLP and OT therapy, in addition to the obvious benefit of being able to easily access the specific services needed.[/quote]

Research supports early SLP and OT.  Does it support classroom placements where the child is significantly younger than the rest of the class?

I would probably choose a community daycare or preschool classroom where they are with same-age peers, plus Speech and OT through DCPS.

If the child couldn't function in an inclusive setting, and the options were to be at home, or to be in a self contained class, I might choose differently.[/quote]
