I think it actually encourages typical kids from interacting more with the SN kids.  Why should SN kids be treated like a pariah, if they are going to regular school and classroom in a regular bus?

SN kids don't get special bus stops.  Only those SN kids that need a special bus stop get one.  No one is going to tell OP the specifics of why that child gets a special bus stop and why her child (and all of the other neighborhood children) cannot use the bus stop.  And, giving a particular child the service that child needs is not treating the child like a pariah - it's putting the child in the least restrictive environment, which is the goal of special education.[/quote]

One example - a child with HFA who is a runner. In general education classroom because at or above grade level, but can't be out of sight of an adult. Until this child can regulate this dangerous behavior, the safest bus stop for him/her is in front of his house within eyesight of a parent. Ideally this issue is resolved so that child can join peers at neighborhood bus stop - and the house stop is a temporary thing.[/quote]
