[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think you REALLY need to understand that the kids in mainstream privates in this area are also all very bright AND don't have ASD. Is it fair to force your kid into that situation - only you know the answer to that. [/quote]

You don't know her child and that's unfair to decide he will not be successful just because other kids aren't.  A mainstream privates was exactly what my child needed.  I cannot imagine what would have happened with public given our experience with public.  There are decent schools with very decent people who are willing to give our kids a chance and help them be successful if they are able.[/quote]

Curious, what kind of supports did your child need in K?  My child is very mildly affected, but this is what he got at his public school with an IEP:  K class with 21 kids and 1 classroom aide (very experienced aide finishing her degree);  10 hours of push-in support from the special ed teacher; weekly OT; weekly social worker.  When the push-in special ed teacher wasn't there, the classroom aide would act as a de-facto push-in aide and make sure my child got situated and participated in specials etc.  The other 2 kids I know with HFA have even more supports - one has a 1:1 aide all day plus everything else; the other is in a excellent autism inclusion classroom.  I have a hard time believing that any mainstream private could come close to this.  [/quote]
