[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 318533, member: 1550"] That's what I mean by the kids don't care if you have an IEP, at least in our school. First of all, little kids are different than older kids who understand better. My son never had any issue with having an IEP nor did my daughter. Nobody even ever brought it up to them. They know a lot of even "cool" kids (like my daughter) have IEP's. It's not a biggie. At least not here. And this is a pretty conservative town in Wisconsin. I don't think anyone thinks about it in relation to either of my kids. Secondly, my son and daughter were blamed for their own problems in Catholic School and the staff was nasty about it. They didn't really "believe" in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). My son did not learn ONE THING in three years. He was confused by all the noise, the large classes, and, because he's tall and they were inflexible, always sitting in back of the class. He couldn't concentrate at all back there. They did have a nun take my son and daughter out for extra tutoring 45 min. three times a week, and we appreciated that, but it was not enough to move especially my son ahead. And he's extremely bright (always makes the honor roll now). My daughter has more academic struggles than my son although she is a real social hit. She was made into a "bad kid" at Catholic School. She was "not trying." It wasn't true. The parents of the kids there were very snobbish (not saying it's like that at YOUR school, but it was at ours). One tried to get my daughter kicked out because she was on partial scholarship. The kids did not include her because the parents didn't think we were rich enough. I heard enough about this from more compassionate parents. Both are happy to be out of there. Some kids can fit into a school where you have to conform to the "nth" and some just can not do it. In that case, in my opinion, it's best to try something else. I'm not a big fan of specialized schools, such as "they all have autism" "They all have behavior problems" etc. That's just my own biased dislike, however I think my son learned A LOT about socializing at public school. He has a table of friends...he smiles and tells me "We're the geeks" (the smart kids). He is also allowed to do his homework in school so we never have homework issues and have peaceful nights at home that are calm and nurturing to both kids. There was nothing fun about World War III over homework :knockedout::raspberry-tounge:. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
