Re: APPROPRIATE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM IN NJ FOR APRAXIA?

[Guest guest]

I would check with your child's therapist too in addition to here. Since your

child is 4 isn't where he's going to school already in his IEP from when he was

3? My son was given the same diagnosis as yours, well not the decreased

attention skills because I learned from this group not to let them keep putting

more diagnosis on my son unless I was sure of them and he's still preschool.

Not many 4 year olds I know have much of any attention skills. Kate PS it is

better to not write in all caps because it is hard to read. Or maybe I am just

getting old LOL!

My son went to BELA (Bergen Early Learning Alliance) in Hackensack... It is an

integrated preschool and our experience there was outstanding.
