[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you seeking a self-contained placement or a gen-ed setting?[/quote]

That’s what I am hoping to get more insights on. Whether my child will be able to manage in gen ed with pull outs/ push ins or if he needs self contained [/quote]

Conventional wisdom is that DCPS self contained programs are not very good … but this is conventional wisdom. In your shoes I would absolutely tour all of the autism/CES programs to see what they are like. Unless you think General Ed could be unsafe for your child (eg eloping) or they just truly cannot participate in the instruction, I would probably start out targeting an inclusion program like SWS and go from there.

Are parents of kids with IEPs allowed some choice or higher likelihood of lottery-ing into SWS? It feels like that’s a long shot.. And yes, we are planning to ideally move out of the district after kindergarten with better sped program options are better but will be here for kindergarten year . And Thank you [/quote]

Where do you plan to move? Where are the best options for kids with ASD in the DMV?[/quote]
