[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 516144, member: 11847"] In a way, your son reminds me of V. I actually just pulled mine out of preschool because it was simply not working for him. They did not understand his needs, and unlike yours, V will withdraw and go into his own bubble. He was not learning anything and it created A LOT of stress on him (and me as a consequence). I don't regret it at all, although it's only been 2 weeks so still early. Will he learn better at home? I don't know yet. But he is so happy and relaxed. His issues are still there, but at least we enjoy each others company. I completely understand your struggle in planning for Kindergarten. The million options and scenarios... I am currently fighting to het V services, and if you feel your son cannot/will not function without extra help: you need to fight as well. Make a file with all of the past evaluation trough private doctors, his past and current diagnosis, obtain letters from professionals working with him. Build your case and learn about IEP and service criteria in your state (states go by federal guidelines but have their own wording. make sure you understand what it means in your son's case). And do a formal school evaluation request if you have not done it yet. That is: certified return receipt letter to the Special Education department. It is hard to know if it would be better to wait an extra year or do 2 years of K or homeschool him for now... We just don't have a crystal ball to know what is will work or not. And sometimes, it also is hard to know when to say "ok, that's not working, let's change direction". Only you can make that call. It also depends on your family life and structure: do you work full time? Do you stay home? Do you have a husband or SO or other family members to help you? Is there other siblings? etc. [/QUOTE]
