[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
What supports do you want for gen ed?[/quote]

^^this. I was surprised by the number of hours my mild SN kid needed - 7hrs/week. He is able to attend and learn with that level. If he was like the kids I know with ASD, he'd need many more hours just to be able to learn and follow classroom
routines. Plus, my kid doesn't even need speech. The entire reason you load up the little ones with hours is to make sure they don't miss crucial years when they are learning basic academic and social skills.  In MoCo they have the PEP preschool programs and nobody resists them!

OP I think you may not realize the level of needs your child has. It's hard to tell when they are 3-4 because the kids are all still kind of babies. But by 5 he needs to be ready to sit down, follow complex instructions, and work independently and in groups. [/quote]

Not necessarily true.  My child at 5 still had severe language issues and could not follow complex instructions.  A few years later he could.  5/K is not the magic age, especially in language disorders.[/quote]

Right - to clarify, I meant that is what he would need to be able to do in K in order to be OK in general ed without a FT aide. [/quote]
