[quote=Anonymous]Hi,
I have a 6 yr old girl with autism who will enter First grade this Fall. We are moving to NoVa this summer and looking for a school and place to live within 15 miles from Clarendon where my husband works.
My daughter is verbal, has very strong academics, no disruptive behavior, but needs help with language, social skills and flexibility.
She's currently at a private school (in a kindergarten classroom with 16 typical kids) with 1:1 behavioral therapist from an ABA agency (mostly covered by our insurance). The therapist at school provides social opportunities (e.g. setting up games during outdoor times) and making sure the skills my daughter needs to be more successful at school are targeted at the home ABA program.  
My questions are:
- Which private school (with typical kids) in NoVA/MD welcome an ASD kid who brings in 1:1 aide?
- As for public school, what's the support for SN kids who are mainstreamed (is it typical to get a 1:1 well-trained aide)?
- Has anyone get insurance cover ABA for school and/or home program? If I'm not mistaken, VA mandates autism coverage but MD doesn't?
- Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance.
