We have been doing "school shopping" for Adrian recently. Since the beginning of the new year, we've been thinking if Adrian should continue getting his education at his current school or join in the public school system for JK this coming September. Being an ESL student and a speech delay kid (with hearing problems), it's inevitable he still has difficulty understanding and expressing his wants a lot of times at school. One classic example is he ALWAYS wets himself WITHOUT telling the teachers he has the urge to go to the washroom (not sure if he's too shy to tell or he has no clues what to say).
Despite Adrian enjoys going to his current school, we handed in the JK application this morning to a Public School in our neighborhood (though we haven't 100% made up our mind yet). From what we understand, Adrian could access more resources for his needs that private schools do not offer. The challenge is Adrian will only attend school full days 2–3 days a week and though we already have one other school in mind, we'll continue to look for the best school that caters special needs kids like Adrian.
Well, we'll get to know Adrian more on Feb 4th Parent & Teacher Interview at school and the upcoming appointment with the Early Intervention Team on Feb 9th.
