[quote=Anonymous]Depending on the school, a self contained classroom will still provide interaction with nondisabled peers at lunch, recess, specials. When/if your child is ready to try a less restrictive environment, it's easier to do a slow and supported transition -- trying a couple hours inside gen ed in your student's best class, then making decisions from there. It may also offer more extracurriculars and be closer to home. A nonpublic will generally have more trained staff and the whole school will be designed to meet the needs of students with disabilities, not just the classroom staff. This can be especially important if less structured times (recess, lunch) is hard for your student. There will likely be a long bus commute and it may be more difficult to see friends outside of school.[/quote]
