The students who get private placement tend to have severe issues and behavioral issues. I don't even think Commonwealth accepts public school private placement (not all schools do). You would have to have prolonged egregious and continuous denial of FAPE to have a chance.

Besides, Commonwealth is more for ADHD. Do they even consider HFA?

I was doing research and tried to find this article but found this instead:
