[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, my son's autism is pretty high functioning and he has no cognitive impairment. His IEP did not qualify him for the autism PK program because he scored within the normal range on the evaluations that were done from the school system, and with the very specific,  individualized attention he is receiving at his current school, he will likely score even higher.

Before his current school, he has always been in regular education settings with typically developing kids and has had no issues.  I just don't want him to get lost in a very large class.  [/quote]

Will he be attending a public school?  My suggestion is to tour the school he would be attending to see how the classes are set up.  Look at student numbers and whether there is an assistant or co-teacher (and see if the school does that consistently).  Do they break the large class into small learning groups?  How would they handle your son's needs?  Talk to the K teacher(s) to get a feel for them.  If it is your boundary public school, I would even try requesting a specific teacher for K (based on your research and who you think would be the best fit).  Maybe attend a PTA meeting at that school, and reach out to  someone on the PTA board about K and their impressions of the teachers?  [/quote]
