The goal of preschool programs for children with severe and multiple disabilities is to prepare the child for inclusive school placements, which requires a comprehensive approach that addresses all areas of development and involves collaboration between the child, family, and educational team. Option A is not appropriate because young children need instruction in multiple areas of development. Option B is not appropriate because same-age peer relationships should be encouraged and facilitated whenever possible. Option D is not appropriate because the focus should be on both the child and the family, and transition planning should begin well before kindergarten.
