[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the responses but we faced a similar situation 2 years ago. The school claimed my child was on the spectrum and wanted to place him in an autism classroom. No specialist we had seen agreed. [/quote] Again, iep designations aren't diagnoses. The school suggested the placement as the best match to meet your kid's needs.[/quote] I disagree here. If the kid is not autistic then an autism classroom is not the place for him. And schools absolutely sometimes push to put kids in self-contained autism rooms who don’t belong there. (Ironically other parents have to fight bitterly to get INTO the autism program.) It’s all very individual based on the particular school and administration. [/quote]
