Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Amy I wanted to tell you a little bit about my experience. My child goes to both special ed and typical preschool. He happens to be more comfortable at his special ed school although now it seems he likes the other school too. In his special ed class he has kids that will not qualify next year because they are doing so well. He also has a couple that have a very hard time with language and he has one child that cannot walk at all and one that walks with braces. The wonderful thing about 3 year olds is they do not have any preconceived notion of what is " normal " and what is not. I am glad my son has been exposed to kids with all different disabilities. He has told me things like " cant walk " or other differences of kids but it does not phase him at all. Now his typical class, I am not sure of. I believe he feels different. I think that he is a very silly boy and is a bit of a clown because this is his way of compensating when he cannot fully involve himself in the conversation. He did come home oneday and asked me " Why I talk different? " He knows he speaks differently than the other children. I think he enjoys his typical school but feels like a king in his special ed school. BTW, he will be 4 in June. Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
