SAHM Does anyone else feel pressure to put their 2/3 year old in some sort of daycare ?
my DS turned 3 last week and has had EI services 4 times a week since he turned 2 now that he just aged out and we are dealing with CPSE now taking over i am getting alot of pressure to put him into some sort of outside care to " help him "....
he has special needs and ones that arent fixable by outside care !!! and has been agreed by all his therapists that it is best for him to be treated at home for now at least ...but i feel that so many people think im letting my son "miss out " on things because he does stay home with me and his 1 year old sister .........
aaarrrr im so confused as all i want is to do the right thing and all im getting is alot of crap thrown at me .....
any advice pleeeeeese

if the therapists feel like home is the answer, then there you go.
Mine just turned 3. I am in zero rush to get him out of the house.
He lives a nice life and we are fine with that.

I will put DS in school at 3 but not because of pressure.
I am not sure what the rules are in your distric though on at home and school therapies.
DS will go to school next September. he will 3 in June. The main reason is that I need to "teach" him now how to interact in a school setting.
We are doing an integration class now. He is 2.5. I can tell you that he has a hard time in a school setting to sit at circle time. And a 6 week Summer program will not cut it for him. He is getting better but I need him to be ready to "try" to catch up and go into the "regular" system in pre-K.

bravooooooooo
He is being stimulated and you do things with him.
The both of you! my twins are not going yet either, they have each other and we do things. I do not feel in any rush to put them there when they will then go to school until they are 17-18.
I am going to enjoy the moment.
When they have to go I picked out a montessori school by me for the year before kindergarten. This way their feet get wet-will let them go for a bit and then in case they freak they will be at tad more at ease with it.
I have 2 older ones. It is so hard to watch them leave and go in those doors.

I forgot! 
We are about doing DS' evals for CPSE. I will let you know how that goes. I already heard, that our district is getting very tight. Apparently not what it used to be.
Did they tell you that you "had to" have services in a school setting? Do you have the option to do home services only like EI? I know you can do both at the same time.
I was told (NOT by CPSE) that you can hire an attorney if it does not go your way. Some people have been successful with appealing the recommendations.
Honestly, I am ready to tackle it if DS does not get the services he needs.

Re: SAHM Does anyone else feel pressure to put their 2/3 year old in some sort of daycare ?
you have to do what's best for you and what you're comfortable with. With my first DD i was a single mom who worked nights so i was home with her all day and she was with grandma at night so i didn't see the need for it. When she was almost 4 we put her in a pre-k program and i realized how much she missed out on with interaction with other children. Socially it has taken my DD a while to get up to where she should be. We didn't have kids around her age where i lived and she was the only grandchild for the first 5 years. And with that being said that is my only regret with not putting her in some kind of program earlier.
But each child is different and you need to do what you feel is best for you and your child and their development.

If all of his therapists believe that it is best to be treated in home, then that is probably the route that you should take..
But, I don't know that it would necessarily hurt to put him into some type of social program either.
I get a lot of pressure from my mom too, and my DS will be starting someplace soonish, but I truly want him to get some socialization, which is what 2-3 programs are best for
