[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is 6 yrs old, starting first grade, has an IEP in Fairfax county. Has a diagnosis of Asperger's, very good academically, public school is good, but are there any private schools in VA that can further his academic potential, while working on his social/language skills.

Are you the OP?  If you search the archives on this forum, you can read a lot about Fairfax.  Overall, it seems people have been pleased with the quality of instruction.  I would also consider The Newton School or Commonwealth Academy.[/quote]

Very happy Commonwealth Academy mom here.  My DC does not have Asperger's so I don't know if CA is good for Aspie's but it can't hurt to call.  Call Josh Gwilliam (he's head of admissions) at 703 548-6912.  I once asked on behalf of another mom about Asperger's.  I believe the C/A response was "It's not in our charter, but depending on the child and available space you never know".  Certainly worth a call.  I love the school.  It's done wonders to restore self-confidence to my minor ADHD kid who is now pulling straight As.  Good luck.[/quote]
