I'm pretty sure he'll be going to a private preschool where my other 3 have gone. They would welcome him with open arms, but he's the first child they've had w/ Ds. They have had a couple kids w/ autism last year who had aides with them. I think keeping our kids with typical kids is a win-win in many ways. They'll learn so much from each other. If it didn't work out for you, you could always switch him to the classroom developed for kids w/ Ds. THrough prayer and asking lots of questions of parents, you'll know what's right. The best part is you can always change if it really isn't working.Monica Crumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292679754594755040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193727679693991495.post-81927152182275583372009-11-02T12:42:14.738-06:002009-11-02T12:42:14.738-06:00Big decisions...Rustin went to a regular preschool...Big decisions...Rustin went to a regular preschool w/his peers when he was about to turn 3 started considering where to place him. We have a school just for kids w/DS and the waiting list was so long we were unable to get him in so I thought it was basically gonna be the end of the world but we placed him at our local Elementary school in what we call PPCD and this is his first full year and he loves it he is really learning alot! All though it wasn't our first choice it ended up being the best choice! All those sleepless nights for nothing. I'm sure whatever you decide he will do great!rustinlane.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12239093656479006245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193727679693991495.post-86758194931415254172009-11-02T12:17:01.302-06:002009-11-02T12:17:01.302-06:00I'm praying like crazy, too.
Also driving me...I'm praying like crazy, too. <br />Also driving me crazy. I know each child is unique with very different gifts. It is also my hope that Jack be mainstreamed and allowed to grow to his full potential, surrounded by friends (and family, of course) who love him for being Jack. I believe he would blossom under the right guidance. And y'all have already seen what a difference the right attitude toward his abilities (not his limitations)and tender patience makes in his therapy sessions and at home. There has got to be the right school(s) for Jack somewhere with amazing, gifted teachers waiting...teachers who can push him to excel but not frustrate him or get frustrated at him. Just tears me up inside.... Love y'all -- and I'll keep praying. Mamaw KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
