Hi Sabra!
Last year we did the Co-op thing. Not again at least for awhile. Lots of work and the tuition was just as high as if I'd sent him to our local district.

This year he's not in preschool; exactly. We put him in a homeschool program that meets once a week, because we got bumped off the waiting list for our district preschool.

I have a question that I was wondering if you could answer. We were bumped of the list for a program that would be perfect for ds, and I was just told by a psychologist that they will have to take him under article 504. The psychologist plans to certify him ADHD, and because of that he qualifies for acceptance under 504.

Is this article 504 a national thing? Does it get him into a reg. preschool setting? Do you have to pay tuition for it? Does the school Dist. have to leave a set # of slots open for 504 students?

I'm thinking I should call the school psychologist and her ask her these questions, but since I saw your post I thought I'd see if someone else could answer before I "have" to make that call.

Thanks to anyone who can help us out! We were not bumped from the tuition based program, only the "at risk" or enrichment program.
