Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi there and welcome to the area! My son is almost 5 and is also PDD. We live in Rockwall (east suburb of Dallas) and while I don't know of anything on your side of town, there are several in the area. I don't know much about Carrollton ISD but we have had wonderful experiences with Rockwall. Hopefully someone else here can give you more info. Just wanted to say welcome and good luck! > > Hi, I'm new to the board. My son is 2 yrs., 9 mos. old. Diagnosed PDD > at 24 months. He's currently in Speech, OT, ABA and we're seeing a DAN > doctor.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Depending on what part of Carrollton you are moving to, you will be in either Carrollton ISD or ville ISD. If you have not made a permanent decision as of yet to exactly where you will be moving, Flower Mound ISD has some excellent programs for children on the spectrum. Flower Mound is not too far from Carrollton and the schools are in the ville ISD (although separate towns). I have only heard excellent things about the PPCD programs in FM and your child will be eligible once he turns three. > > Hi, I'm new to the board. My son is 2 yrs., 9 mos. old.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hello, We just moved from the Carrollton farmer's branch ISD (cfbisd) district in July 2007. I really hated to leave there. That district was the best schools that I had ever dealt with as far as the PPCD programs. They were always concerned with how my children's progress was going and offered all kinds of programs and esy services. You should really have no problems when transitioning to the schools. I do know that they like for you to call to get transfer ARD set up asap so that they can hopefully have that ARD before school starts. The CFBISD phone# is . Just let them know that you are moving to the area and your son's situation and they will get you to the right department. Let me know if you have any problems. Good Luck.
