Re: wwyd? (type of school)
I would check out both classrooms and if you can get approved by EI for the integrated I would go with that since there will still be positive role models from the typical children in that setting.

Re: wwyd? (type of school)
How does he deal with change? Its not like he's in 4th grade and all the cliques/friend circles are made. If you decide he would be better in another type of class after you sign him up, you can switch.
I would check w/ ped or EI to see if they can recomend something in your area.

Re: wwyd? (type of school)
Since there is not much eating done at pre school, I wouldnt worry too much about that aspect of his issues at all.
I would check out both if possible. I would think to say through EI but it might not be as fast paced as he needs either. I would see both and you will know if you observe a classroom which he would fit better in...

Re: wwyd? (type of school)
I would send him to a regular preschool. They only have snacks there so if he doesn't eat it's not a big deal.
He has a large vocabulary, and is an active toddler. I see no reason not to put him in a regular school IMO.
ETA: Jack has maybe 10-15 words and is going to a regular preschool in Sept. I think it will be great for him to learn there.

Re: wwyd? (type of school)
thanks ladies, i'm going to call my coordinator tomorrow and see what schools she knows.
i do know of 1 school that has an amazing integrated classroom (they offered me a job last yr but then i found out i was pg and couldn't accept), but i worry about him picking up behaviors (i know he can do this in a typical classroom too but it is more likely in an integrated one.)
don't they eat lunch in pre-k?

Pre-k is like 4 years old. You have a while  Unless it's full day pre-school, they likely don't eat lunch.

I agree with Diana!
And you have at least another year before you worry about Pre-K

Re: wwyd? (type of school)
i guess i ment preschool/nursery. i actually taught "pre-k" and they had a 2 yr. old, 3yr old and 4 y old room. but that was special ed. so i guess they labeled it differently  . it was full day and they had 2 snacks and lunch. i guess i thought that this was the norm. i'm clueless, i have a lot to look into!

Re: wwyd? (type of school)
The 2 year old program that Jack is going to in September is two half days a week - for two hours each day.

hmm, i guess if that is the norm then i would send him to a reg. ed. school and just get his services done at home. thanks for the info!

Everything that I have looked at (unless in a daycare) has been the same as what Diana says. About 2hrs a day, 2 days a week
