[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, all of the schools people have mentioned are equally far, right op? I don’t really feel like any actual names have bee given. For acds and burgundy farms, they told me if the kids can’t take himself to a different classroom easily after a session, it wouldn’t work. They also don’t let outside therapists in. And they also kick kids out who are too much.

The reason you’re getting pushback op is because you’re throwing off a serious special snowflake mentality and ugh I hate that term. Your kid has issues, nobody cares if he is acamdemxialt okay, so are most of our children, and kindergarten is actually all about regulation and social skills. If those are issues for him, don’t send him to a private with teachers without sped credentials and expect it to go well. The end. [/quote]

OP here.  Not sure the basis for "snowflake" comment.  I've been forthcoming, balanced, and responsive.   I have no illusions.  I'm simply wanting to get a clear understanding of the options.  Yes, I don't think public will work for the reasons I've stated.  I'm down to private SN and private mainstream.  The fact that I'm soliciting input on mainstream shouldn't indicated anything more than that I'm trying to be diligent, and willing to weather the criticism of be "naive" etc.  But if "snowflake" makes you feel better, then that's that.

I think you're being unrealistic and possibly irrational due to fear or lack of understanding of public schools. While not ideal, public schools have a lot to recommend them -- mainstreaming being one benefit. Not sure why you wouldn't even explore the option.[/quote]

OP here.  Class size.  My kiddo does best when class size is about 15.  Can't get that in publics in my district.   Yours?[/quote]

We have about 20 kids and 2 teachers. I think the autism inclusion classrooms are smaller.  Do what you want to do, but deciding not to mainstream due to class size only seems odd to me. [/quote]
