answer:While it’s true that the more “special students” the schools have, the more funding they have. It sucks, just because the schools tend to pin point “problems” where there are none, or not any that the child won’t eventually out grow. However, a LOT of three-year-olds haven’t mastered speech 100%, and I really wouldn’t worry about it or focus on it, if only so that your daughter won’t become worried or self consious about it. That would only make things worse. Now, if they DO label her as special, which they probably will, it really doesn’t mean much. They may put her in another class room with a special ed teacher classroom for 30 minutes during the day for speech, if necessary, but that’s all. Most of the kids in any elementary school go to different rooms during the day for various reasons, be it help with reading, math, whatever. I just wouldn’t worry about it at all. And above all, no. She won’t wind up in a Special Ed classroom if that’s what you’re thinking! They’re be no stigma attached to it either.
