[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you have to re-define foryourself what your child’s needs are. She is not low support needs if she can’t sit in a chair, needs a lot of sensory and attention supports and explicit social emotional instruction, plus has outbursts. This sounds like moderate support needs at minimum. If your only choice is publics, you need to decide with her specialists whether she should be 1) mainstreamed in gen ed or 2) go to one of ASD specific programs (special ed). For 1) to happen, there needs to be a behavior modification program, otherwise it will keep getting worse. Hoping for unicorn teacher for every grade is not a good educational strategy. For 2) - check what APS offers, that may realistically be the best option for her at the moment. Basically, you need to work on her functioning, one way or another, otherwise he academic giftedness will not be of any use to her long term. [/quote]
