[quote=Anonymous]Hi - We have a 3.5 yr old, moderately functioning ASD kiddo.  We just moved here from out of state, and in our previous county, he qualified and went to an all day special needs preschool devoted to ASD.   We also had previously (before he qualified) sent him to a private preschool and supplied him with ABA therapists.   Now that we have moved here, we are trying to make a decision about private preschool and ABA, or county school program (MCPS).

For summer, he is attending his private preschool with an ABA.  They have been in session for 2 weeks, and to-date, my child hasn't been in with his peers.  Just one on one with his ABA in a separate room.  They have goals they are trying to work on before incorporating him into the classroom.  It's new to us, as this hasn't been an issue before and he always assimilated well into any preschool environment, with or without an ABA.

would he be better off in the MCPS school? That way he can at least be assured that he's with peers? Or is it better to have him with 80-90% typical kids and an ABA, but realize he may be off on his own with his therapist a lot?
