Amy, from Bright Futures replied:
No, none at all. This comprehensive program does not leave any aspect to doubt.

Amy, from Opportunity Preschool replied:
I haven't had any concerns yet. I believe, as far as I know, that things are being properly handled. I am very pleased that we are beginning to blend our classrooms as out world is blended already.

Caleb's Mom, from White replied:
I did wonder if my child would be "slowed down" by the students with IEP's in the classroom. However, after having my child in an inclusion classroom for two years, I believe he has made good progress. The extra personnel available for assistance and the experience he is getting are beneficial. >

Carolyn, from St. Ben's Preschool replied:
My concerns are small ones that were addressed within the environment of the classroom. (Example: Special equipment. The children were allowed to use the equipment. It was set aside to make the children feel as though this is a hands off situation. But, it was very enlightening for the entire classroom.)

Jenny, from Barkley replied:
At first I was afraid this classroom may be too restrictive for Eric, or that the staff wouldn't have adequate time to spend with him. Very early on in our experience these fears were laid aside and I feel unequivocally, this has been the perfect place for our son.

Jordan's Mom, from Raintree replied:
No concerns.

Maria, from White replied:
I have had no concerns with the program itself. My concerns have been with other parents who seem to have concerns of their own. I've just tried to be a mediator of sorts to these parents.

Mary, from Bright Futures replied:
No, I am really happy with every aspect I am aware of. If I have questions, I go right to my child's teacher, who tells me what I need to know.

Stacy, from Barkley replied:
One of my concerns with my son was his speech, and as soon as I mentioned it my concerns were addressed. He was tested, but didn't qualify for special education, but I know he is still getting extra attention in the program because the speech teacher is right there.

I did not have any concerns about Matthew being included with kids with special needs. I think it's a good idea and I think it's outstanding that they are all doing it. I think it will cut down the possibility of "teasing" when kids get older, if they're all together in the beginning.
