hello,
my son is 4 years old and on the spectrum. Im having a hard time finding an elementary school for him. He starts kindergarten in September and I feel like every school I call for open house never knows how to answer any questions about children with autism.

Does anyone in Arkansas keep up with the possible law of school choice? If so, do you think we are close to getting that passed in Arkansas?

My 7-year-old autistic son is high-functioning and goes to grade 1 in a regular school and regular class. He has some challenges with paying attention, sitting, and following some rules but he is doing well academically. His teacher has told us we should consider sending him to special classes in other schools. We feel that the teacher's advice is mostly for her comfort rather than the benefit of our child. Any advice on what should be our strategy toward this problem?

Minneapolis Public Schools won't put my level 5 ASD child in the school that will best fit him.
They put him back in the school that I took him out of due to his aggression etc.... I sent him to a ABA and now I have to put him back in school system temporarily.
Anyone know of a good school in North Mpls that is good with aggressive type ASD?
They just called back and now will look at other schools . Lol! ( He went to Jenny Lind which didn't work)
