Preschool Intervention Program

Today during therapy, we were informed that our Early Interventionist believes that Zachary would qualify for the Oconee County Preschool Intervention Program (PIP) for the 2009-2010 School year (next year). We are keeping our minds open as to what opportunities Zachary will have but this sounds like it may be a possibility for next year. PIP is a program for 3-5 yr olds who are involved in Baby Net for a developmental delay (speech delay for Zachary). The children are enrolled into the public school district at three years old just like Kindergarten kids but they are in a special program. They go to school five days a week for half the day. Of course, Zachary has to qualify and I still have a lot of questions (ratio, etc). But it sounds like it could be a good choice if Zachary qualifies. I know it is a year away, but our EI said we have to apply by October~...we will keep you posted!
