[quote=Anonymous]Just a vent but I am so frustrated by the lack of schools in the DMV that specialize or even are able to handle students with ASD. My dd has a severe expressive language delay and (mainly as a result of the language issues) a huge delay in social/interaction skills. She’s ahead academically and has no behavioral issues but we are struggling to find school options for elementary. Our public school district is not a good option. I wish we could move but we can’t due to jobs and also don’t want to uproot older siblings. It just seems surprising to me that in a large metro area with so much money and families who value education, the special needs schools are abysmal and few and far between. There are so few choices and many just seem downright awful or for profit. I wish I was ten years younger and had not exhausted myself dealing with my sweet DD - I joke that I would open a school.
