Seeking Guidance on the Best School District for My Son’s Needs
I’m currently trying to determine which school district—San Ramon Valley Unified, Lafayette, or Moraga—would be the best fit for my six-year-old son, who has moderate to severe autism.
He is nonverbal but has recently started saying some words. He is not yet potty trained and does not use utensils to eat, though we have been actively working on both skills. While I have been homeschooling him and focusing on academics, he has recently lost interest in engaging, and his sensory needs often lead to dysregulation.
Given these challenges, I want to ensure that I find a school district that can provide the right support, including a structured environment, strong special education services, and ideally, a one-on-one aide. I am also struggling to find a suitable non-public school closer to home, which makes this decision even more critical.
I would truly appreciate any insights you can provide regarding which of these three school districts would be best equipped to support his needs. Your guidance would mean a lot to me as I navigate this process.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
