We have DD booked in to be reassessed by a gifted specialist but couldn't get her in until October. And I have found a selective mutism specialist but am still waiting for a call back from them. So I don't really have anyone professional I feel I can call on to advocate for us right now.
It's hard to wait, but you are on the right track, and the professionals are on their way.
I still think it's worth a phone call to the school and to share with them the first psychologist's opinion. Ask for what you think is best. The worst that will happen is that they will say no.
I don't know whether to go back to school and insist that if one of the classes is going to have 17 kids then it can be any one of those classes not just the late start one and they must move her NOW. Or whether they are right and all this extra preschool is a wonderful thing.
If you read all that I am grateful, if you have advice I will be more grateful still.
This is an entirely reasonable request, make it firmly and with more conviction than you feel.
Hugs,
Grinity
