Our two options, I think, are to leave the district or to hire an attorney. If there were better school options for DS, we would hire an attorney for sure. But there's no private placement here that will meet both the ASD needs (social skills group, for example) and the high academic needs. So basically I'm having a nervous breakdown.
I'm sorry that your ds is having to deal with this! I was initially going to ask if you lived near me b/c our local district has also been sued successfully for tuition for a private ASD school but I see that you're in the south.
I'm wondering if you've thought about suing them for tuition at the private ASD schools and then pursuing a grade skip (or a few grade skips or grade skip combined w/ subject acceleration) at the private school? Or are the kids there too different from your ds for him to find peers and get his academic needs met?
