it really depends on the needs of the child ... for example, some may recommend

http://www.craigschool.org/

my friend's son attended the school, but she has her doubts...
there is also Winston School in Short Hills
http://winstonschool.org/

if you were to fight for OOD, make sure you have done your homework.

Hi,

Can anybody recommend any good speech therapist near Edison? My son gets 2 sessions/week (each session 30 minutes) in public school but we think he needs more.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

I am sure the social worker for your son or even the speech therapist would know some private speech therapists. Just ask.

Default Relocating to Princeton area

Hi,
I see a few years back you were in the same position I am finding myself in now. My husband will be relocating to the Princeton area in the new year. We have 3 young children. My oldest is 8 yrs old and has autism. She is high functioning and in an inclusive public classroom setting in a rural town in Alabama. Needless to say this will be a big adjustment for all of us. In all of your research which public schools do you recommen? Keeping in mind I have 2 NT elementary age school children as well. One last thing, although high functioning, my daughter has many issues I'm sure will need addressing , ie, social isolation, academic (math), some behavior.
I know this is a lot to ask for, recommendations, but it seems you were very diligent in your search for a school for your child. I would appreciate any guidance.

Since this thread is on the subject, is it true that New Jersey generally has very high rates of autism? If so, is that because of an environmental issue (its history as a waste-dumping site)? I keep hearing that NJ is known for its rates of autism but don't know anyone who actually lives there. Asking because I am new to the state and while I don't plan on having kids anytime soon, want to know of any concerns regarding the tap water, certain neighborhoods, etc.

No. I keep reading threads about people with autistic children moving to New Jersey because they have good schools. I'm serious. I don't know how many times I've read, "Which school district will be best for my autistic child?" Too many to remember.

I was just thinking that. We get this same question over and over, but the only people who can really answer are other parents of autistic children and possibly some educators. It's not on everyone's radar.

My daughter had kids with autism mainstreamed in her classes. Does that mean our town's schools were "good" for autistic kids? I have no idea.
