My 4-year-old son is mild autistic.He goes to public pre-K(sp ed) for SDD(significant developmental delay) 3 days a week. Recently he was re-evaluated as mild autism by school psychologist. We had the first IEP meeting last October and my son was placed in "speech language delay class". At that time, the school didn't performed autism test for him so he was not dignosed from school. But actually he had been dignosed as autism and I gave the cirtificate to the school. They didn't consider for it. I will have another IEP at an early date. I got new doctor's

reccomendation about what he needs such as ST, OT, Typical peers etc.Last time, they gave him the services only 18 hours a week.(special pre-K class, 3 days a week) I appealed he needed same age peer in a regular ed class. I also asked them for having person(parapro) who help him.Everything was dinid. They said the hours was enough for him and they was not able to give him an inclusion program because the county(Gwinnett) didn't have any public preschool. Is it true? How about another county?Is it impposible that autistic child will be placed in a natural environment?(with an aid)Is there no chance for autistic child to learn with typical peers? His private therapist and I think still difficult for him to go to regular pre-K without a supplemental aid BUT he needs typical peers to develop his language and social skill.They always says "Wait untill he gets into the Kinder".However I don't want to

waste his precious time. Time is wasting away!!Is there nothing I can do except give up? If anyone has any experiances & insights,please feel free to email me off-list. Thank you in advance! Rie What are the most popular cars? Find out at Autos
