Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Hi Everyone, I'm new here my name is and I'm a stay at home mom to 3 boys. who's 7 and homeschooled do to some attention issues, 3 who attends a special preschool for PPD-NOS and other problems, and last but not least is 21 months. I'm very new to all this and very confused. I knew something was wrong with at around 18 months of age but I figured he was regressing because of 's birth. I called the local school here for an evaulation this august because was not showing signs of improvment and was very fustrated that he could not communicate with me. I do not have the support of his doctor, so I am in the middle of finding a doctor that understands 's needs. I picked this well known school to do 's evaluation and because they have one of the best preschools for children with disabilities in the state of New York. His evaulation was hard on him, they were asking him to do things that he just could not do. In the end the results came back that he was functioning at a 15 month age level in almost everything but gross motor skills. He now attends this preschool 5 days a week from 9-2. He seems to love it and thrives there. It's been hard on me because I didn't know anything about austism or spectrum disorders at all. I always thought that autsism was totally diffrent then what it really is. See is a loving child, he will sit with me and have me hold him and kisses me and tells me he loves me. I didn't think autistic children did those things. I was very wrong, because even though sean does those things, he does many other things that are what is said to be autistic tendencys. I'm glad to have found this list and hope to learn and find friends.People that will help me figure out what is best for . Is there special services in New York state that he should get? SSI in New york, how do you apply and what if your child only has the diagnosis preschool child with a disability. It will be 2 more months before we get to a neurologist. Anyway Thanks for reading my super long post Blessings, _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
