[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always feel like this board, which is great otherwise, has a very big slant towards wanting to put SN kids in SN schools rather than mainstreaming them. I'm all for getting kids the support they need, especially at a young age, but when a child functions as well as OP's I'm 100% with her in wanting to keep that child in a mainstream environment. He does well academically and seem to have any behavioral issues. All the teachers have to do is encourage him and the other kids to be friends? Even NT kids, especially at that age, have social skills deficits. OP's kid sounds like he would do great at many privates around here.[/quote] I kind of agree, but OP doesn't want to do public school, either. She wants a private/independent school to offer her kid resources that you would normally need an IEP for. This is hard to get at a mainstream school. So, if she has ruled out public + IEP, then a SN private is pretty much what is left. [/quote]
