My DS has moderately functioning autism and we decided to not enroll him in the Foundation school. I have heard the school is good but I worried about DS's transition to public school once he was done with 2nd grade. I also worried that DS would not be around enough typically developing peers at the Foundation school.

I think it's 1st or 2nd grade, but I'm not sure since we are just about to start in the fall. And, we have the same concerns, but in the PPCD program my son is in, he's also doesn't spend more than maybe 15-30 minutes a day around typically developing peers, so we are hoping that the benefits of the Foundation School will outweigh the cons. But my son is also only three right now, so if we don't see big improvements over the year, we will go back to PPCD. It's a tough decision no matter how you look at it, so I say go with your gut. You know what your child needs more than anyone else.

They do like it. They are on the border of schertz cibolo school lines and said they made sure to be on cibolo side.
