My son is four years old and was diagnosed with PDD in November of this year. We have gotten a great deal of support from our doctor who is, unfortunately, many miles away from us. We spent every penny that we had in gas all summer taking him to therapy. We have embraced his diagnosis but I am confused about where to go from here.

Jaime, that is his name, is now in head start and is receiving some of the services that his diagnosing doctor has suggested. We are doing a lot of home therapy including the brushing technique. The two biggest challenges are knowing if we are doing the techniques correctly and helping our daughter understand what is going on with her little brother. I was relieved to hear that his school is going to be giving him Occupational Therapy. The catch is that when he is reevaluated for Kindergarten this spring he may no longer have a scholastic need for the OT; more specifically the sensory integration that he needs.

 How do I go about addressing this with my school district? I can't pull him out of school twice a week for OT, but he needs it so badly. What can I expect from my school district or how can I find out what to expect?
