Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 My son is five and has had speech and special instruction since he was two. This is his third year in preschool at a school meant for kids with disabilities. They want him to go to regular kindergarten. He is understood about 10% of the time just by words. He can give a general idea of what he is talking about by pointing or gesturing what it is. He cannot say his name or anyone else's info if he needed to. He seem to have a good memory. After three years of preschool he still can't consistantly count to five. They say by October in kindergarten he should be able to count to thirty. How is he going to be able to do that if he still (after three years of practice) can't count to five. He also can't say his abc's at all. He refuses to say his abc's at all. When he does try he can't remember a b c. He'll just start saying randon abc's. I'm really lost on what to do. There's no way he can do kindergarten at the moment. I'm considering homeschooling. My family (who is also spends a lot of time with) completely agree with me on the fact that he is really not ready for kindergarten beyond just the speech disorder. Some advice would be great!!
