[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again.  I agree with the poster above.  It’s preschool.  Give him a chance.  I should say I’m also a teacher and have seen kids both in and out of general ed in Dcps. I don’t want him falling further and further behind.  Gen ed with supports is what I want [/quote]

But what makes you assume he will fall further behind outside of gen ed? I have seen/experienced the opposite - the young child who falls behind in gen ed due to lack of supports. Your starting assumption seems to be that he doesn't need the level of support recommended, yet I'm not sure you have the information yet to know that? Maybe you are right, but you need more information. [/quote]

It depends on the child.  At our school the special ed is a dumbed down curriculum and they will not let kids move ahead.  Some kids, like mine, thrive on being challenged.  ASD is very different from a language disorder.  Kids with language disorders do not often do well with moderate ASD kids due to their behaviors and other needs.  There is a belief that they are similar but they are very different needs.  The stronger academics, especially in language arts, the better my child does.[/quote]
