I think it sounds eminently reasonable, OP.

On thing, though. Are you sure this is best for your non-disabled child? Special Needs bus rides can be much longer than regular ones. And the school environment may not be the one that is best suited for him, if not this year, then in other years. What I mean is that at some point they might be better off in separate environments, so think carefully about what you're committing to.

I don't think getting a COSA commits us to this for eternity.  If I get a COSA and at another point a different choice makes sense, he can go back.  So, I'm not really committing to anything.

But, other than the fact that one school has the physical disability program, and one doesn't, our local school and the school I think we'd end up at are pretty equivalent.  Both have the same curriculum, and the same grades, and good reputations.  I am sure that, other than the fact that he wants to be with his brother, he'd be equally happy at both schools.  I assume they'll be in different classes, which is the same amount of separation that most twins get.

The school with the physical disabilities program is actually pretty close to us.  Because my son will have nursing care on the bus, which is an expensive service, the school system has a pretty big incentive to make the ride short.  [/quote]
