3 yr old dd with SPD, and have questions concerning schooling.. I need some advice.

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My dd is 3, will be 4 in May. She's never been to any type of school, unless you want to count O.T, she went 1x/week for a year. I wanted to homeschool her, but she does not listen to me, at all.. and I think she would respond better to somebody else other than me She is gifted; although I'm not sure if that's due to the high probability that she has Aspergers. Her concentration span is extremely short..and she is a visual learner. She HATES writing, and throws tantums if I try to get her to practice. She likes to draw circles, that is IT. She likes starfall.com.. and youtube videos' of babies, dogs, cats, being born * it's her obsession, love.. so I don't care if some think it's inappropriate, it's what she loves* She is a sensory seeker, and she is a handful. We also stopped having her vaccinated at 12 months,so I dont' want to deal with the school system giving me crap. I do think she would maybe benefit from a structured environment like school though. We don't have extra money, but I wonder if a montissory (sp) would be better.. although I have decided I will pull her out of school if she has too much difficulty. Any suggestions anyone? Maybe I'm just too overprotective, but I don't want teachers to assume her behavior is on purpose, If she goes to school, I want to make sure the teacher will give hugs and love her. I also want them to call me if she wants me. What do I do? Any suggestions?

I would wait and see a bit... My son who has sensory issues loved preschool and particularly montessori was successful but regular public school was definitely not. We are homeschooling now and he is very easy to teach at 7, much different than when he was that age.
