Hello @elissamarie1986 and welcome to the community.
If you don't mind my asking what country are you in? Pre K is fundamentally a US, Canada or Turkey education system, while our members are predominantly UK based.As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change! -
I am in United States. Just realised this is a UK site. While looking to see about this discussion in US i keep coming across UK sites trying to fix the situation for the UK parents & their children with disabilities.Im willing whole heartedly wanting to make a change concerning this in Uniyed States Schools

Hi @elissamarie1986.
My understanding of the US education system is that complaints regarding the unfair treatment of disabled students is dealt with by the Office for Civil Rights https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/index.html if you haven't checked this site out yet it could be a good starting point.
Another resource you might find helpful, again if you haven't come across it, is http://www.parentcenterhub.org
If I can try and help you find a more specific resource please let me know.As an individual I stood alone.
