[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all these responses and helpful to hear different perspectives. We are concerned primarily with ability to engage in basic classroom activities like even attending long enough to a story or lesson without spacing out/disengaging, not completing takes or transitioning to activities with the group, and social skills with peers. Less concerned about the academics which we think she has been able to acquire at developmentally appropriate rate between school and home. We have already advocated for additional services with the DCPS IEP and understand she is getting as much as she qualifies for (3 hours sped teacher, 2 hours a month speech, 4 hours a month OT). We are supplementing with the private therapies in Floortime model but it is hard to fit this all in if she is in school full time. So it sounds like it would be hard to add ABA privately at home in sufficient hours to help her if we kept her at DCPS. If they won’t let us have push-in support from a therapist in the gen ed classroom, would a full-time ABA center based model be best? Or put her in a private daycare that allows push-in ABA or other therapist support in the classroom? It would hurt to have to pay out of pocket for daycare vs an ABA center that (I think?) could be covered by insurance, but I also wonder whether a full-time ABA center model would be right for her profile since she doesn’t have significant disruptive behaviors, and we don’t want her to pick that up there.
