Melissa, what state are you in? I understand things vary widely by state, even by districts within states. You could find someone in your state to help you by going to www.nfb.org/nopbc and click on "local contacts" then find your state.

Hi all,

I have a 5 year old son who is blind and autistic. I am trying to figure out what sort of services/school placement he needs for 1st grade. He has been left behind in preschool for Kindergarten as the district could not find a placement for him. He has no usable vision, is nonverbal, not much receptive language and doesn't have that bad behaviors. He's currently  receiving ABA at home every day but none in school. Any thoughts on what type of program would be appropriate for him?

Thanks,
Melissa
