DS2 is 3.4, has a speech disorder and will be having genetic testing soon as there is other stuff going on too. His SALT has put him forward for a nursery with specialist S&L provision. The panel meets at the end of May so should find out shortly after if he's got a place or not.
If he does get a place he may be offered transport (it's a 20-30min drive away). My initial reaction was that he wouldn't be going on transport and that I'd take him myself. However, after speaking to a friend I'm conflicted. She thinks he'll be fine and that I just don't want to let go (partly because of stuff in my own childhood).
My reasons for saying I don't want him to go on transport are a) that he's so young, b) his speech is basically unintelligible so he won't be able to tell anyone if there's a problem and c) I'll feel like I don't have a relationship with the nursery.
Of course, he might not get a place and then this is all moot. But I want to make a decision now so I'm not rushed into making a decision if he does get a place.
WWYD?
