[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That profile is really difficult to find a private school. The dyslexia-specific/language based disability schools won't take autistic students and the autism schools don't have the expertise for learning disabilities. We did a combination of public school (with an IEP that targeted both) and private schools that supported her social needs and outside tutoring for the learning disability.[/quote]

12:11 here and I agree.  You kind of have to figure out whether you want to focus on support for ASD or support for LD and pick a school based on the primary focus with outside support to compensate.  From what I've seen, schools for kids with ASD will usually have more latitude for behavioral issues so long as they're mild and mitigated by the ASD supports in school whereas schools for kids with LD won't touch behavioral issues with a 10 foot pole even if they're motivated by the learning environment.  Our DS did public school (placement in a non-categorical room) with outside tutoring for dyslexia because we couldn't afford both a SN school and tutoring and an LD school wasn't a good placement because of sensory dysregulation issues.

No behavioral issues and the autism is high functioning so you barely notice sometimes but I get what you’re saying. This is tricky.[/quote]
