Thoughts and Opinions Welcomed!

My friend is a school teacher and is studying at a nearby university to become a ABA therapist. She has informed me that DS's school is planning to have a preschool class full of students with autism.

IT is a nice idea but I would rather DS be in a mainstream classroom with a trained and well educated special ed teacher. I want DS to be around students that are social since he is not.

I know the school will think DS would belong since he has PDD NOS.

Has anyone experienced this? Is this a situation that will crash and burn? What are your thoughts?

TIA

    More clearly, what is "early intensive intervention?"

    Does your school district have PPCD. Its an early education program for ages 35 with disabilities and developmental delays, or ASD/Aspergers/PDDNOS. The include many means of therapyspeech,OT/PT,ABA incorporated into a preschool curriculum/environments. it is to help them prepare and somewhat adapt to going into a mainstream classroom. Some will still need some help in mainstream classes and will have a teacher's aid to help in needed areas. this varies due to each child being diffrent.
