my son has a july birthday and I did not send him to kindergarden till the following year... it is your choice to wait an extra year. my son just did an extra year of pre-k and it was the best choice I could have made.

I got little books from my Wal-mart store for my boys for grades pre-k and kindergarten. We worked on them together and also told them fun story's from when I was in those grades. Before school started I talked with the school to see if I can bring me son in to see his class room and has her show him a little of what he will be doing in class and it helped alot

Here in Pa. they have therapeutic kindergarten for special needs and it starts at 5. Prior to that my son was in a specialized pre-school program for special needs. He is 19 now so there must be a lot more out there by now I would think for autism and other special needs.

And even if you feel that she's not ready... Like many parents do the teachers are trained to work with kids on all different levels and graduate them up a level when they are ready.

Yes she should be in Kindergarten, when my grandson was 5 he started at Sawnee Elem in Cumming Forsyth county has great Autism/ADD support with the school. He was choiced into this school bc of the services offered there.
