haha! I think about the same thing with my son!

Also, on't worry about what other people might say or think regarding your daughter. You know her best. In our situation, the social skills teacher is an EXTREMELY nice man. He and I have similar life philosophies, he volunteers at a prison, he is really, really cool. His wife is the best teacher at the school...she has all sorts of stress-relieving OT equipment in her regular classroom. The social skills teacher is surrounded by what seems like appropriate knowledge and resources. But, his interactions with my son are not always good. They get into a power struggle I think. I believe and trust my son. If it is not a good fit, I'm going to go with my instincts even if it goes against everything that looks PERFECT on paper!
