[quote=Anonymous]School based slp here.
My advice would be to contact the central special education office. Dont enroll your child in the neighborhood school and leave it to the school basedteam. 
When we have a new general ed student with an iep at my school, we meet with the parents and adopt the iep as is and schedule a 45 or 60 day review.
But for students not in general ed, it's much more complicated.
In my district, the final decision of an outside placement (even one within the district) is above the discretion of our school based team. We make LRE (least restrictive environment) statements, write appropriate goals, put in appropriate service hours, write detailed reports with standardized scores, skill levels, behaviors, etc. We load up the IEP and put in accomodations and recommendations that should make it very clear that a general ed setting is not the LRE. All in the hopes of giving a student what they need but the decision comes from outside/above our school team. Once a student is at our school, it takes months and many meetings and that is for a placement within the district. For a private placement, the public options have to be exhausted. 
TLDR: go straight to "central office" not through your neighborhood school. [/quote]
