[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My non sn daughter is also in k - my son is older - and I’m frankly surprised your daughter has picked up on this. There are several kids with iep in my kids class - I volunteer often - and they just aren’t aware yet. [/quote]

I doubt that’s true that they aren’t aware. Both of my children came home in K with questions about the children with SN’s in their classrooms. They wondered why they had aides (although they didn’t know the word aide and asked why an extra teacher always sat with a particular child or helped only that child), they asked why one child with SNs always had trouble sharing and playing without getting physically aggressive and crying, they asked why there was a child who was a baby (child with severe Downs Syndrome and a host of other disabilities that I’m not familiar with who could not walk or talk on her own and was very physically small for her age). I’m glad our school has the inclusive classroom where all of our children can work and play together.

This is to say, that kids do notice even at young ages. And although some of the examples I used were of children with more severe SNs, some had autism. [/quote]
