[quote]Hey Shelly, Amy and others with experience in the teaching arena. I am thinking of looking at placing DD in a preschool that
is the Special Needs preschool program of the Public Schools in our area. "Typical children" (their words) also attend the school to serve as peer models. [quote]
I'm not a teacher but this sounds like a really nice idea. I know growing up in NZ we had the special needs children at my school as I don't think Napier had a separate school. Anyway, I learnt early on that they were really fantastic people and I don't remember them holding any of us back. I'm not sure though when its the other way around...DD going to a a school specifically for special needs children. I do know I don't look at disabled people etc as much different from us because of having them as friends at my school. But what do I know....I just like looking at pretty furniture!!
Anyway, I wasn't around like I'd hoped I would be. I ended up having to catch up on a zillion chores I have been neglecting. I totally hear you on the avoid the laundry Heidi, which is what I've just finished doing. Ugh...boring, boring job!!
So now I'm going to make some spaghetti bolognese for dinner (I feel like something warm as its SOOOO cold out tonight) but I'm going to be off and on chatting to you all finally.
So COME BACK Devan!!! I'm here now!!
