My son with autism is included in North Pocono elementary schools. He's pulled out of his regular education classroom for S&L therapy and OT. With accomodations, and a trained one-on-one aide, he only goes to the learning support class if he is getting frustrated and beginning to act out. He also has what I call "gifted accomodations" for areas in which he surpasses his classmates.

If you want full inclusion, you don't want the IU involved. IU classrooms are *usually* self-contained or the students join the mainstream for specials (art, music, gym).

A great professional education advocate is Linda Holgate (she has a listing on Atty Pete Wrights Yellow Pages for Kids). She could tell you more about the local schools and how they are for educating children under IDEIA.

Good luck selecting a district.

Having a child in learning support and having dealt with muliple school disctricts, I can honestly say that Tunkhannock Area School District is one of the top area school districts that deals with children with learning support.

Good luck on your decision and move.
