[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would also consider hiring an advocate who can help with school placement.[/quote]

OP here, this is a great idea.  i am so clueless...how do i go about finding one?  i suppose googling would be a good start?[/quote]

The only thing the advocate is going to do is give you a list of schools to visit like the list above.

Have your child been seen by a developmental pediatrician?  The meltdowns and problems with transitions, needing routine, low tone, excellent vocabulary, etc sounds a lot like high functioning autism, Asperger's.[/quote]

I disagree with the advocate comment.  A good one will make a list but will also have done observations in classrooms, be familiar with admissions, etc.  The thing is if you are looking for small privates and you are also considering SN schools then that's really two kinds of advocates.  You can search the private/independent forum and this one for names.  You need someone familiar with the DC system (obviously) if that's where you're staying.[/quote]
