Something that might (1) be recurrent, ie, chemo or transplant or (2) indicate previous trauma, ie, accident, or (3) indicate disease. That could be relevant to the school. (I'm not an MD or an educator) [ Reply | More

He's expressing exactly what he is hearing. Kids need reassurance that they are not bad. You can say "no" to something while giving a choice either for something else or for having that thing later. They really thrive when given choices. [ Reply | More

This is not true. They discourage it (as most place do now) but that doesn't mean it can't be done. And instead of the principal, you should talk with current teachers and pediatrician. [ Reply | More

When your dd is 27mo call your local public school and ask for a child study team evaluation. They'll probably tell you to write a letter making a formal request. They'll walk you through it from there. SN pre-school starts at age 3. [ Reply | More

that's what I did. ds was in private preschool starting at 2.5 and then we switched to public when he turned 3 and got in. Our town has an AMAZING sn preschool! Check yours out (ask dd's therapist what they know about it, mine knew a lot), because sometimes even crummy public schools have great sn programs. It's tends to be something public schools do well. I have been so, so happy with ours. ds also has global delays and he has made incredible progress there. [ Reply | More
