[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where was your child placed??? I definitely don't want to go to a toxic environment. His current school is bad but not toxic.[/quote]

This was almost ten years ago now, so I'm not sure it would help much since everything will have changed in that time (she's a sophomore in college now). But it was one of the fairfax county-based privates that fcps sends kids with autism and ED to pretty frequently-- she was supposed to be placed in the autism classroom, but they decided she was too high functioning and put her in with the ED kids instead.

A School that focuses on learning disabilities might be a better environment. Just be careful and ask lots of questions. We were mislead about several things and didn't realize until she was already there. To answer your earlier question, you don't pick the school. Fcps gave us three, and only one of them would take her (they suggested lab, which we would have taken, but lab doesn't take kids with asd). Most of the privates will not work with fcps so the list of potential placements is short.[/quote]
