[QUOTE="slsh, post: 66349, member: 8"] Don't panic - not all kiddos know their letters or numbers at the start of K. I think with- most of my kids' peers, they didn't. thank you did, Wee did, Diva didn't but she caught up quickly. I used jelly beans. Great tactile experience for counting out numbers that you can match up to the written number, and when they pick the right written number out they get to eat the jelly beans. I also used them as "rewards" for letters too. Actually, I should've taken stock out in jelly bean companies because I even used them for thank you when I was homeschooling him briefly in 7th or 8th grade, LOL. As far as what the doctor wrote - I think they are *way* jumping the gun. Basically, they're saying that the SD will want to consider placing Beaner in Special Education. More restrictive placement means anything that is not straight regular education. The *most* restrictive placement, aside from in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or a therapeutic day school where there are no regular ed kids, is a self-contained classroom. Again... I think they are really jumping the gun. The way it *should* work is a step-wise progression: Regular ed, then regular ed with supports in the reg ed setting, then partial pull out progressing to full pull out into a self-contained classroom. Supports can be speech or Occupational Therapist (OT) or PT or an aide, to maybe a period of time in a "resource room" to help him with- skills he's struggling with. Another thing to consider - Beaner may suddenly blossom academically and socially in K. I was maybe mildly concerned about Diva not reading by K, but she really took off when she was in a group setting with peers. She's now a very gifted kiddo. [/QUOTE]
