[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the self contained programs they are smaller so you run a higher “risk” of a favorable mix or unfavorable mix (relatively speaking).  So you child may have good peer modes, or poor peer models.  And by good or poor I mean relative to your. Holds strengths/weaknesses,  not some absolute scale.  This is also the risk in a larger setting but the sample size is larger.  For my kid, we chose to stick with the gen ed class with push in/pull out sped.  And every year we cross fingers for great case managers and IAs.  It’s hit or miss.  [/quote]

Not op, but may I ask what kind of services does your child get in gen ed class with push in/ pull out services? My kid is going to k next year, and I want to know what kind of services are available & helpful for iep plan. He is high function autism, adhd, anxiety, and speech delay. He will be in gen ed class.[/quote]

Reading support from the sped teacher/case manager to work on academic goals.  Usually pull out with a couple other kids 
IA coverage (with a group of kids in the same class) during large chunks of the day
Pull out speech (kind of a joke though, and they mostly work on social skills) 
PE support as my kid has trouble processing verbal directions in large groups [/quote]
