We have an 8 year old son who is Autistic, but pretty verbal and doesn't have too many bad behaviors. Right now, he is in a 3rd grade Autism program with 6 other Autistic kids who are all different, and at different levels. He also goes to regular ed for specials, social studies, and science. I think problems ly in the fact that although I love his teacher in the center program, he only is with her maybe an hour a day. Then, since he can't take his specials with the other Autistic kids becuase he takes them with regular ed, when they are at theirs, he is in a "team" room with the program leader working on stuff. But I think, althought I'm not in there, that there is not a lot going on. Also, when he is doing work, other children use this room for timeouts and play time, which is very distracting for him.
I guess I am wondereing if I should get him in a cross categorical classroom with kids with different disabilities and less transitions or regular ed all day. Your thoughts..
