[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  To be honest I don’t really care about the disability classification. He has to be re-evaluated in three years.  If it isn’t appropriate and they refuse to change it then I’ll fight. I’m more angry and upset about the self contained recommendation. I disagreed with the educational and told them I thought it was invalid. I think they tried to place him in there because of those results. He does lack some social skills but whether that’s from a receptive language delay, staying at home with a nanny or autism is yet to be seen. I just refuse to place my kid in a ces program without giving him the benefit of the doubt and letting him try pre-K gen ed.  I know he will be absolutely fine in gen ed.  There is no question. I just want to make sure they can’t place him there when I said no. I still want him to get the speech Services (we are starting private as well). [/quote]

The problem is I have never heard of a school changing an autism disability classification unless it saves them money. They are not matching your child to the best program for him. They are looking at their programs to see what is easiest and cost effective for them.

A developmental delay label would have bought you a lot of time to sort things out.

Language kids need specific help but they will offer you whatever they are doing for the kids with autism.[/quote]
