[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LEAP is the [b]only true speech preschool[/b] outside what the counties offer.  We did two years.  It was beneficial for my child and the program worked perfectly for us.  We did LEAP and supplemented with private.  Some families did LEAP and public.  Some did LEAP and private and some just did LEAP.

Very few preschools from what I found are open to speech delayed kids the older they get.[/quote]

We live in DC, so preschool at age 3 is free- if we choose to attend. Would love to find private schools as a back up.[/quote]

That's absolutely not true.  It offers individual speech during the day as does Dolley Madison.  The MANSEF schools probably do as well.[/quote]

Offering individual speech and a preschool specifically catering to speech delayed kids with 30 minutes of individual speech and daily programing for speech is [b]very different.[/b][/quote]

1.  LEAP only has ST 3 days a week and 2. you can get ST multiple times a week at several preschools including MANSEF, Dolley Madison, and pretty much any preschool that has a SLP on staff.  Also, if you get services through the county, they often go to preschools.  You can also get speech through public preschools.

Preschools can be open to having speech delayed kids, you were just researching the wrong kinds of preschools.[/quote]
