[quote=Anonymous]If it is just socialization, then depending on the school and teacher, yes, some can and do provide the support.  My child went into a new preschool/private this year and he was clearly in need of social skills help due to his speech delays.  The school was amazing and very clearly has worked with him and supported him and more importantly, got him caught up.  We considered Maddux but the cost did not see worth the benefit but he probably would have been a good candidate.  He clearly needed to transition to a regular classroom vs. continue in one with kids who had some degree of delays/special needs.

That poster meant well.  Maybe they do have the experience or a friend who had a good experience with the school.  Our school has 1-2 negative reviews from kids who were ADHD, not speech/OT/PT issues and sadly, initially it scared me off until I went to look at the school as I really liked the setup.  Gratefully, I did go look and and its been a great year for my child.  They've been very understanding and attentive and its very different from their online reviews.  And, despite the reviews, they are open to mild special needs, not behavioral issues (which people need to separate when they talk about special needs as special needs can mean many different things).

OP, I would not close yourself off to a regular preschool/school.  It is hard to find one accepting of your child, but there are some out there and it surprised me the ones who actually were, which mostly were not advertising it vs. the ones who advertise it but when you visit, it is clear not to bother applying as they don't have any interest in your child.

Not getting into Maddux is not a big deal.  Yes, it is touted as the school to go to for specific needs, but I know many kids who did not get in and parents found other situations that have worked out well.  Don't be discouraged.[/quote]
