[QUOTE="SRL, post: 48645, member: 701"] Glad to hear the appointment went well and that the diagnosis is in line with what you've been seeing. Everything you mentioned on the Primary board sounded as if it easily could fall under the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) umbrella--having that as a working medical diagnosis will give some solid direction for you to work with, especially since there's so much out there under the Autism umbrella. I'd be hesitant to pull a child with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) out of a preschool setting that they were doing well and progressing in. I know of families that have done half time preschool/half time Special Education or therapeutic preschool successfully as well as families that have supplemented a private preschool situation with public school therapies. And believe it or not, in a few situations I've known families who have succeeded in getting the public school to pay for an aide for a child in a private preschool setting, this last only because the district didn't provide an appropriate least restrictive environment.
