Early intervention question

My 2 year old son's school has brought up early intervention to us. They feel he has trouble sitting for circle time, throws toys (even at classmates) and will run out of the classroom (they don't have doors). They've said he hasn't adjusted to the days routine where other kids have and is over stimulated with the large class.

We've been to gymboree, birthday parties, bounce house, crayola factory and even went back to his old daycare for them to see how he's doing. We didn't see any of this behavior. Don't get me wrong though, he's 2 and acts it.

Does this behavior warrent early intervention or is it just him being a 2 year old?

Has anyone used EI for something similar?

sorry for the rant and thanks in advance :)

Sometimes we, as parents, don't see things that other people see. With that said, I would probably call and have him evaluated, and have them come to the school to do it. 2 is young to be in a school setting though, so it could just be immaturity, and not being ready.

The only people that see this are his daycare (and I have no other option for him other than daycare, both of us have to work). None of our family/friends/other parents see anything different from when their kids were his age. He also spent a day back at his old daycare. They said the only issue they saw was he didn't listen very well when being told not to do something, but really what child does listen.

Oh sorry, you said school so I thought you meant like a nursery school program.

I have twins & one child listens & comes when told to do so for the most part. My Twin A son has a mind of his own. When he is involved with something he completely tunes you out. I would go for the eval....what harm can it do??? If anything, they will give you tips & thinks to watch for.
