Autism Inclusion Programs in OUSD

My son was recently diagnosed with Autism and is supposed to be entering Kindergarten in OUSD. He is highly verbal, but needs a lot of help with social skills, is sensitive to noise/crowds, and struggles with fine motor skills. He has an IEP, which places him in an inclusion classroom, but he does not have an actual placement, yet, since the IEP was completed after school ended, placements were already made/spots were full, and I have not been able to view any classrooms. I'm not sure how much choice we're actually going to have, but I'd love to hear people's experiences- especially in the past few years. What school did your child go to? What was great about it? What do you wish was different/could be improved?

Feel free to contact me directly, if you prefer.

Thanks!
