[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get a little bitter about it with my developmentally delayed May bday boy who will be starting K in early August. Because he has an IEP, he needs to start K on time, or else he loses his services. I do wish that, where at-will redshirting is allowed, special needs kids could be included. [/quote]

Why would you be bitter? You son is getting what he needs.  You can red shirt too and use your own insurance/funds to pay for additional services.  People that red shirt have to pay for another year of day care or they have to pay or take time to tutor.  [/quote]

I would be happy to pay for another year of daycare, where he currently gets itinerant services. If we redshirted him, he would still be entitled to services, but would no longer get itinerant services - I would have to get someone to bring him back and forth to PT, OT, and ST. That is not feasible for working parents, esp where we are also taking him to private therapies already. His school therapists work on different things than his private therapists. It's not a cost savings measure for the school (since we could still technically use the services), but they have a blanket rule that it is better for children to start "on time," even though his special ed teachers all think another year of preK would be good for him.[/quote]

That’s ridiculous, PP.  This rule is absurd especially since it goes against the advice of his own special ed teachers!![/quote]
