[quote=Anonymous]our youngest has just been diagnosed (we had the full battery of neuropsych testing done late this summer) with High Functioning Autism Level 1.  On cognitive functions, DC is solidly in the average range - with areas at the high or low end of the average range.  Executive funcitoning is a bit weak and the glaring area of weakness is the social/emotional.  We are in the middle of having several meetings with the school to figure out what combination of services and/or accommodations can be provided this year.  And outside of school, we also have lined up a series of other services/interventions to help strengthen clear areas of weakness.

Before the diagnosis, we had planned to pull our DC out of public school after 5th grade (as we did with our middle child) and place DC into a private school.  But do you know if having an IEP or 504 would prevent a child from being seen as competitive candidate or would a private school reject a child simply b/c they have an IEP or 504 (even if that wasn't the official reason)?  Thanks![/quote]
