[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTDT. I’m so sorry you’re doing through this. Please check with an educational advocate (hire one if you already haven’t) whether the diagnosis is appropriate for a social and emotional school (SESES in MOCO). From my experience, ASD should not be coded in the IEP as a behavioral classification, and the child should not be sent to a behavioral program. Above all focus on what your ASD child needs are - this should be in the diagnosis. If they need OT, speech, a BCBA, for example, and the suggested school does not have this expertise, then you’re doing to the wrong school. Finally, to your question, your child may or many not do well in this school, mine didn’t, but even if they do, it would be by chance, as the school would not be catering to the ASD needs. Please also find out which are the schools in your area catering to ASD needs - an educational advocate would know that. Sending strength and good vibes and wishes for a speedy resolution at the right school where the kiddo can feel successful    [/quote]

Behavior support classrooms are appropriate for many students with autism. Needs (not labels) drive services and placement.

OP - you could ask questions about the amount of time in self-contained vs gen ed classrooms, amount and type of support when in gen ed settings, how staff respond to escalated behavior, social dynamics within the program, etc. If you're able to visit that would be great![/quote]
