Pennsylvania has an overlay of support for children with special needs through it's Intermediate Units. This support is especially effective for early intervention of pre-school children. The IU's are broken up into 29 groups throughout the state https://www.paiu.org/ius.php and include several school districts and sometimes 2 counties. This is the IU that serves Bucks county Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22 / BCIU / Doylestown, PA This one serves Montgomery: MCIU – Montgomery County Intermediate Unit I know a couple of people whose pre-schoolers attended summer school with our local IU and they felt their kids really benefitted. They had a bus that picked them right up at their door-step.

I would concur with toobusytoday on this....Central Bucks gets high marks in almost all areas with regards to schools and programs within their schools. I would definitely start with your Montgomery County IU and then if you decide to move, you'll have a paper trail to take with you. Early intervention, support and services are readily available~you just have to pursue and ask! Good Luck!
