Disabilities and Kindergarten Readiness

Question: My bright little boy had a stroke at birth. He'll be 5 in August. I'm nervous about his starting kindergarten. He is in therapy for sensory processing disorder, speech issues and fine motor and visual motor delay. His preschool teacher says to enroll him in kindergarten. What should I do? -- Wondering

Answer: Visit the kindergarten he will attend to see if it is appropriate for him. Also, check that he will continue to receive the services that he needs. Then make your decision.
