Is there any way to find out the schools with open enrollment which has special education program in LAUSD?

kingfish
I'm interested particularly in SLD program for kids with learning disabilities. My district resource specialist completely ignores parents . I tried to call to the schools but they don't want always to tell about the programs and refer me to the resource specialist.

LAUSD does give 1 one 1 for safety issues also.

You have to be persistant. Go down to the district office in person, take an advocate to your IEP,dont be afraid to go to due process hearing, if you have a good case and you win, they will have to pay your lawyer. Do let them know why you want to change schools. Document all problems.

Does your son still need the 1-on-1 aide during school hours? Does he present a safety issue to himself and/or others?

If your son has safety issues connected with his autism classification, then an aide should be assigned to your son. If safety is no longer an issue, for him or others, then a 1-on-1 would probably not be assigned to him.

My son had a 1-on-1 aide up through 6th grade. He's in 7th grade now, and no longer needs the aide. He doesn't want one anyway.

Ihave independent psychological evaluation and I discuss all options with IEP and agree with the program because if I will put him in general education class the school district will not give him 1 on 1 aid that he needs .According to LAUSD they can give 1 on 1 aid only if the child has behavior problems.My son has never had such problems. If LAUSD gave me wrong information about 1 on 1 ad please let me know.

I have a son with Asperger's Syndrome who is in the LAUSD system.

Has your son been formally reevaluated by the IEP team? Does your son have a current IEP in place that changes is classification? If not, then that's the first step in getting your son out of the special ed. classes.

I'm attaching a very recent discussion here on the board that was posted in the Learning and Attention Difficulties group which provides very helpful information regarding IEP's (how to get one, change one, etc.):

community.greatschools.net/groups/11554/discussion/293659

I see that your frustrated with the LAUSD, but once you get his IEP updated with his changed classification, you should be able to get him fully included in general ed. classes (if that's what you want for him).

You can also use the Research & Compare feature here at GreatSchools to research other schools in your immediate area to find one that may suit your son's needs.

My son has always been fully included in general ed. classes, but his IEP stated he needed a 1-on-1 aide with him in the classroom. This is his first year without an aide.

In addition, I would invite you to join my group, Autism and Asperger's Syndrome: community.greatschools.net/groups/18940

I hope this helps you. You can also send me a private message here if you'd like.
