[QUOTE="SRL, post: 220866, member: 701"] The school psychogist is not telling you everything that you need to know. In cases where services are indicated, the districts are required to provide them whether they have a program in place or not. This could mean doing something like providing an aide at a private preschool, forming an early intervention class within the district for students whose issues are behavioral (often a mix of students), or sending him to a neighboring district that does have an appropriate program. Most parents don't know about these options, and that's what the district is counting on. Likely they just didn't want to deal with him until kindergarten because they didn't have an easy and less expensive option in place at the preschool level. However, with him being so close to starting kindergarten, and you having minimal experience with special education laws and/or funds to hire an advocate or attorney, I will say it's unlikely you could get any of those done in time to help him this year. But in the future don't take "We don't have a program in our district" as an excuse. It's the law. If he gets kicked out of another daycare, you may also want to push the district still this year. I wouldn't worry at all about the school educational label. There's no reason to share it with a young student. Most young kids don't care--it's the adults that do. [/QUOTE]
