Finding the right school environment for a child with autism is crucial, especially when they've found a supportive setting where they're thriving. It's understandable wanting to maintain stability given your daughter's progress and friendship development.

Here are some potential options to explore:
• Speak with the school administration about potential payment plans or internal financial aid programs
• Contact local autism advocacy organizations who may know of private scholarship opportunities
• Consider consulting with an educational advocate who might know of additional funding sources
• Look into state-specific autism education grants or voucher programs Important note: If you do need to consider public school options, know that schools may be legally obligated to provide appropriate services or even pay for private placement if they cannot adequately meet your child's needs. This could potentially be explored while keeping your daughter in her current school during any evaluation process.
