Re: Long Island - preschools

[Guest guest]

Even though I lived in Suffolk, my son attended Variety Childrens Learning

Center (VCLC) in Syosset. It is off of Jericho Turnpike. It was the best

decision I have made. The school is very state of the art and the teachers and

therapists were great. He attended there from age 2 1/2 till age 5. Please

check them out. My son is 8 now and is mainstreamed for 1/2 the day and is

doing great. I attribute a lot of his growth to early intervention and to

this preschool/ Kindergarten. My son received P/T, O/T and speech and had

sensory issues, no speech till age 4, low muscle tone, motor planning issues

along with many other issues. Check out their website _www.vclc.org_

Hi,

My son has been diagnosed a month ago with appraxia. He has also been

diagnosed in September with PDD-NOS, has overall motor planning

problems, low muscle tone and sensory issues. All his therapist and

the psychologist agree that in September (he'll be 3 in few months) we

should send him to a good full time language rich special ed

preschool. We live on Long Island in Nassau County. I visited few

schools already and most of hem claim they are language based

preschools. When I ask what it means some can answer others not.

Anyway can anyone recommend a good preschool on Long Island for kids

with appraxia?

Thanks,

Nati
