Preschool

Andrew will start preschool just after Labor Day. Mondays and Wednesday afternoons and best of all it is just around the corner.

Sean and Ryan have qualified for the school district preschool program.

Sean is "developmentally delayed." Developmentally delayed means that he is delayed in 3 or more categories of development. In his case: speech, language, and cognitive ability; it is a more global diagnosis.

Ryan is "speech and language impaired." Speech and language impaired means that he is delayed in the two categories. Though he was close to delayed in cognitive abilities.

Both qualified for preschool for 3 years (or until they are in kindergarten). They will not be reevaluated until then. So even if they showed drastic improvement, they would stay in the preschool program. A school bus will pick them up at our door and take them to school and then return them the same way.

I'm not in away disappointed with the diagnosis. I have felt that both boys needed continued assistance to continue their marked improvement with speech especially and I'm very happy that they got into the school that will provide the services focused on what they need.
