We are moving to Atlanta and I need to find a great school for my 1st grade son who is diagnosed with PDD-NOS. Presently he is in a public school that is awesome and I hate to uproot him as well as my daughter who will start middle school next year. She has been in Catholic school since kinder. I looked at the links to different sites but I want/need first hand experience.
Thanks!

I would try contacting Autism Speaks the Georgia chapter and ask them if you don't know where you plan on living. If you know the areas in which you would like to live then contact the local support groups and they will help you weed through which schools are good for their area.

We learned the hard way when we moved to Newnan and I regret it. I highly do not recommend moving there. I thought it was ok based off of greatschools reviews but it was a nightmare with nonexistent special needs services and a lack of knowledgeable people. When we moved I contacted Autism Speaks and they helped us find a good school district in the area we would be living in. My son is happy again and is back to all A's and B's.
