Questions to Ask Before Sending Your Child to Public School Programs:

For Mainstream Programs:

  • What is the student-teacher ratio in the classroom?

  • How are Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) implemented and monitored?

  • What accommodations are available for students with special needs in mainstream classes?

  • How are social interactions facilitated between special needs students and typically developing peers?

For Programs Designed to Assist Special Needs Kids:

  • What specific training do the teachers and staff have in working with children with my child's particular needs?

  • Are there additional support services, such as speech therapy or occupational therapy, provided on-site?

  • How is progress measured and communicated to parents?

  • What opportunities are there for integrating special needs students into community activities and fostering life skills development?

These questions are crucial to ensure that the chosen public school program can adequately support and promote the growth and development of your special needs child or if you require out of district placement for a more comprehensive approach to support your child.
