[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 606832, member: 1722"] Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you live in the US. I live in NY and children must be enrolled in school the year they turn six by December (it varies by state). Is it possible for your son to wait a year for kindergarten and take part in a pre-k program instead? They tend to focus on very limited academics (colors/letters/shapes/numbers, etc) but focus on sitting in circle time, standing in line and taking turns. I think, also, that you may want to request that your son receive a full and complete evaluation through the school to determine what, if any, accommodations may be needed. Send the letter in writing, by certified mail, to your school principal or head of your district's special education department. This kicks in federally mandated deadlines for any evaluations to be completed and a plan formed for your son. [/QUOTE]
