[quote=Anonymous] OP - If your son is 15 years old and doing academics on a 4th or 5th grade level, then he would not be able to access the regular high school curriculum of 9th or 10th grade. He would be continuing along educational skills goals from the point in reading and math that he is on i NC. The appropriate classroom for him to do so would be in a self-contained classroom for academics. Depending on his other needs in terms of being on the autism spectrum he might qualify for certain specialized programs serving this population or he would be placed in a mixed self-contained classroom. He would be on the Certificate Track and could remain in school receiving services through age 21. In a high school setting, you could see what the options for mainstreaming and what supports could be offered. [/quote]
