First up, his Preschool, through the School District. Ryder will be attending 4 days/week. He has 2 teachers, J and S. And, an SLP assigned to his class, A. Ryder was a bit hesitant walking into the classroom - until he saw they had trains and train tracks! Both Teachers are kind, but Ryder seemed to really like J better - she got down on the floor to play, and really interacted with him. The SLP, A, has been his Early Intervention Therapist's back-up during the summer (Ryder's Therapist split her caseload in the summer, but she kept Ryder). So, she has been able to get additional insight from her, as well as read through all of the information we provided. Ryder will receive 20 minutes dedicated Speech Therapy from A, weekly. J and S will also provide Speech Therapy throughout the sessions, and A will include Ryder in various group sessions.
Ryder enjoyed playing with the trains, and then spent some time in the kitchen area, before heading outside to go down the slide a few times.

The following evening, Ryder had a Back to School Night at the Daycare. Since June, Ryder has been attending there one day per week, and will continue this schedule - attending the day he is not in Preschool. We love the boys' babysitter, but want Ryder to be exposed to children his age, who are "typical" in their development - especially speech.
This Back to School Night was quite a disappointment, in that the school hasn't finalized which Teacher will be in his classroom...and, neither of the ones who it will be were able to make it that evening. So, the boys got to play in Ryder's classroom for a few minutes, before we left to head back home.
