[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... 
We've looked into a lot of SN schools and gen ed schools (that said they might be able to accommodate our SN son). I wish we had found one school that screams "this the one!". 
The SN schools that we visited didn't seem to provide appropriate peer models for social interaction (in the past, this setting made our son talking to the teachers mainly, or both him and the peers were prompted to have a conversation because everyone had to learn to initiate). 
Gen ed schools (and some SN schools) have a lot of peer models, but don't have appropriate support for ASD kids.

We are interested in Waldorf because they seem to focus on engaging the child with the surroundings through art, music and movement. The kids learned "academics" through practical activities (cooking, knitting, making patterns while going for a walk, etc). Again, these are just information I gathered from talking to the schools (I can be completely wrong).

Have you looked at the lab school in DC?  That is geared to SN kids with an emphasis on learning through the arts.
