[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had experience with two middle schools in Arlington. At the first one, our DC had all co-taught classes, a social skills class, and instructional studies that was supposed to provide executive function support.

We transferred to the Secondary Program for Students with Autism (SPSA) and the services were on paper very similar but the teachers understood DC better and there was someone serving as point person with the big picture in mind for my kid. Instructional studies was more than just a study hall.

I have no idea the likelihood of getting into SPSA with an outside IEP. If I were moving into Arlington in your place, I would choose a home within boundaries of one of the middle schools with SPSA (Hamm and Jefferson). Even if you are not part of the program, the special education staff at the school will be much better equipped to handle autism. And if you need a higher level of support, the change will be less disruptive. [/quote]

This is so helpful, thank you.🙏 [/quote]
