If you have a special needs child , do they go to summer school (public) ? Zachary is in a prek special classroom and I am wondering what happens over the summer. I know he still needs therapy so how does that work? Does anyone have any info or advice?

Skye goes to summer school but its only in July not sept. Luckily we have the TSS worker for her so she gets continued coverage. Do you have insurance can you look into getting him some private therapy

We have ESY (Extended School Year) for the kids with more severe disabilities- and there is ST and OT/PT for those kids.

Jacob won't be attending ESY, but we may ask to take him in for continued OT to help his fine motor skills.

I asked Zach's teacher is he will be getting any school or therapy over the summer, she said she was going to check on it and get back to me. I am sure he qualifies for everything, I just don't know if they do it at school or at home. I guess when I find out I will let you all know. Thanks for the information you gave me. I think he should be entitled to something.
