Yes, they work with the DOE, DDS, and the town's block grants to fund the out of district placement. The Disability lawyer's know the law and apply appropriately.It wouldn't be a bad idea to also apply for SSI for your daughter. You need to research schools that do out of district placements and you have to have an updated full scale, psychological evaluation and medical evaluation preferably from a specialist that works with autistic individuals in the area of diagnosis. Contact the children hospital in your area and ask who that specialist would be.

Try calling a special education attorney in your area. What they are sometimes able to do is to get the school district to pay for the private school.

DrShirley, Mikayla was just diagnosed and in august and we did more testing in October and in January we will get the results of that. I am in the process of looking into SSI for her, the school we're trying to get her into is an Autistic school that is out of district but it's also a private school. I will contact a disability lawyer because it sounds like they might know how to help thanks!
