I am hoping the other group will have more info. But like I said I am really good at rocking a boat. I had to fight for him when we lived in a small town before MB.

I chatted with my former neighbor in Valpo and she totally agrees with the assessment you received. It's too bad and I'm really sorry.

I found a message board of Valpo moms of autistic kids, and some of them are positive then others. So I think it has a lot to do with if you move here with a IEP already, which we will have and they have to follow his IEP we bring for so long I believe is how it works.

That IEP is a powerful tool. I'd stick with the valpo mom's message board on this one. sounds like you'd have a built in support group before you even move, which really helps!!

That's actually midway between Valpo and Wheeler (which is west of Valpo.)
Wheeler schools too. |

But this isn't Valpo or Chesterton - it's Portage.
If you're concerned about the schools, I'd look into the differences at greatschools.net. |
