[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't mention anything that suggests that she needs it. Most students with "high functioning" autism are in gen ed.[/quote]
OP said the DD was resistant to doing work.  Depending on what this means (average kid?  Full blown PDA? Somewhere in the middle?), gen ed might not work for the DD.  What is the general profile of the students in Autism Connections?  [/quote]

For learning centers: they seem to be the new dumping ground for “one size fits no one.”  And that now includes on grade level kids they don’t know what to do with.

Autism connections won’t take PDA kids —- or at least they try not to. They were up front with us on that part. And after learning more and touring the program, I agree.‘it’s a lot of transitions (in/out of gen ed classes every hour or so); and the connections classroom was very ABA-like structured and compliance focused. Which does not work well for PDAers.

There aren’t programs that check all the boxes - even non publics.[/quote]
