[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have four high-quality SN schools on our list — toured some of them already —  but they are each one hell of a drive to get to.  We would prefer not having kiddo spend 1.5 hours in the car each day and instead on the playground or in social skills classes, etc.[/quote]We have a child at one of the SN schools mentioned, and, while it's a drive for us, it has served our child far better than any social skills class ever had.  We did three years of social skills therapy, and the first month of the SN private did more than that - people commented about it, the improvement was so obvious.  Because social skills therapy is integrated into the classroom and every part of the day, it's more effective.  We also carpool, so we're not making 10 trips/week, and the kid gets home in time to have at least 2 hours of daylight every day.

Don't get me wrong - it's insanely expensive, the commute does suck, and there is benefit to time with peers who don't have similar issues. But SN school for a high-functioning, brigh ASD kid has been a life-changer for us.

Just my $0.02.[/quote]
