[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC applied to mainstream (not top) privates a few years ago and did not get accepted. We hired an advocate to help put the necessary supports and accommodations in the IEP. He's fully mainstreamed, and so far has friends and teacher who are very understanding and inclusive (he's invited to birthday parties and playdates). Obviously, he still has issues with social skills, self-regulation and occasionally has meltdown in class; however, I'm sure the issues wouldn't have disappeared if he were in a private SN/mainstream school.
The large class size (almost 30 kids) is surprisingly an advantage because it creates a larger poll of kids to connect with. [/quote]

Thank you for this.   Your comment about class size providing additional social opportunities is a very good one, at least in my opinion. It’s something that I have thought about. As of now we need smaller class size. Hopefully, larger classes will be a viable option at some point in the future. [/quote]
