[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Thank you for the replies. We could move anywhere, probably. I work remotely and DH could easily get a job in a new city. But I think it’s impossible to guarantee kind teachers ANYWHERE, right? There are bad teachers or strict teachers or ill-informed teachers (and same for admin) anywhere, so I just don’t see how you could move to try to find a school that better meets the needs of a child like mine.

I am thinking, for example, of the fact that people say Massachusetts is great for giving IEP services.  But the problem I have isn’t so much lack of services (although there’s that here too), but more so the teaching philosophy issue. There are probably behavior charts in Massachusetts too![/quote]

Unfortunately, you aren’t likely to outrun behavioral charts and hit or miss teachers.

You may have luck in a specialized private, but there aren’t that many that cater to this profile in elementary. There are a few more options in middle school and high school, especially if your kid can do virtual. (Virtual private)

Also, think about the effect on moving for an ASD kid at this age. Lots of change, uncertainty, stress, new school, new friends, new house etc. If you don’t have to move then choose stability of staying where you are.
