[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with some previous PPs that you should push back and get more information.

Is may be more convenient for them, but is it really the right thing for your DD? The self-contained classes I have seen for autism are really for kids who can't communicate verbally very well and if your child can seeing as how she was mainstreamed before I would urge you to be cautious. How would this impact her socialization?

If they are thinking about a learning classroom with kids with different types of disabilities that might be better for your DD.

Could they get her an aide for gen ed instead? I would seriously consider holding her back a year if you think that could help. Your child is still very young and no one can possibly know what she'll be like in even a year or two in the future.

If you do accept the self contained class I would make sure they have her mainstreamed for certain subjects like math and science that are her strengths. They may not want to do it but you can insist and they can do it. I have seen it done and it was the best of both worlds for the child.[/quote]
