[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't want to send him to a school that would judge kids for an ASD diagnosis on paper, without spending any time to look at the actual kid and his needs.

Also, if your child is doing so well in his inclusion class (in public, right?) I don't see why you'd move him.  Keep the IEP, stay public.  The demands of K increase a LOT for language (reading and writing) and with a strong IEP and good school, he could make a lot of progress.

I wouldn't move him if we had the same option for K. We don't. He is already reading and writing above typical levels now. They dropped OT because they said the next goal to reach would be for K levels. It's speech that is the real issue still.

Do you have experience with a similar child?[/quote]

No, my kid is different. But I'd still be wary of going from a setting where he's getting a LOT of support, to a K with no support.  Why would you prefer the private?  (The whole ASD diagnosis is a bit of a red herring, although of course you should revisit it since it does seem like it was hearing related.)  [/quote]

Well, he's not receiving a LOT of support right now I don't think. He's in a class of 12 kids with two teachers. He gets speech twice a week pushed into the class.

I prefer the private school because they have a smaller class size, which is where he seems to be doing well. I'm nervous about him going to a class with 25+ kids in a class.[/quote]
