One advantage to knowing early that your child might have educational needs that are outside of the norm is that you have time to do your research.

Just as I was agonizing over school choices for DD4, two new schools popped up that could have worked out for her and one of them was a public charter school.

This forum has been a wonderful source of support for me and I hope it'd be for you as well.
