In NY you would also have the option of having your child home for
therapies and "preschool" - they don't have to go to a preschool
building. My daughter still gets all her services at home and she's
over 3. I am not comfortable with sending a diapered, non-verbal
child to any school setting. She is always with a parent.
Also, don't know what the deal is there but here "low in two areas" or
more just means you qualify for services, either home or in school.

> Hi everyone - I have a question about the IEP process for
preschoolers. James has been recieving services through early on for
1 year now, and now that he is turning 3, we move to the public
school. He will be going to the Early Childhood Special Education
Preschool class. They ofter the class 5 days a week, but he will only
be going for 2 because he goes to a private Preschool 2 days a week
and really, i just feel that 5 days a week at this age is a bit much
and i've been told that Fridays are a "Wash" anyway, meaning he
wouldn't recieve any speech therapy on that day even if he was there.

> My question is there - can I legally request that he recieve
services in any other setting? I do not feel that the class he is
going to is the least restrictive environment, but they aren't
offering me any options. What can I do? He does have severe verbal
apraxia, but it's in the pure form, there are no motor delays, sensory
issues, etc. He did test low on the cognitive test, but they told me
it was because it was standardized and since he couldn't verbally
answer the questions they were automatically marked missed, even
though there are no obvious cognitive delays when you speak with him.
Should i request a different test? I think that he qualified for
this class because he scored low in two area's, which meets their
requirments.
