[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 226078, member: 3413"] Just wanted to add my support. Our first preschool experience was in a Montessori school that simply didn't tolerate any variation from the docile, easy-to-manage child, which my difficult child was not. We didn't last there 3 months. It was awful every day he was there, and awful when we were encouraged to leave. It was his first experience with any kind of school and I was devastated that it went so awry. Since then we've found varying degrees of success with preschools and teachers. It's all about the fit, the fit of the school's culture, and the fit of the particular teacher you have in the room, and whether she's in a good mood, or in her first trimester of pregnancy, or blah blah blah. I guess that's why having procedures documented and some accountability if procedures are not followed is an excellent idea. An advocate sounds wonderful, if you can get one. I know how difficult it is to chase a diagnosis, and have certain services be dependent on that diagnosis. Just throwing a probably ridiculous question out there, but would it be possible for you to hire your own private aide, rather than wait for a public school to provide one? I guess I'm thinking, if you do switch from private to public school, you could spend your tuition money on an aide. (Sorry if this is a silly suggestion; I'm not exactly sure how these things work...) [/QUOTE]
