School district question...spinoff to a question posed on the special needs board

Hi, I'm cross posting this here in case there are any teachers who may be able to give me some advice but who may not read the Children with Special Needs board. See below. Thanks!

Does anyone know how the NYC schools compare to the island in terms of CSE services? I am in district 26 (bayside) which has been the highest performing district in the entire city since forever, but I have a son with ASD who will likely need a contained class next year and was wondering how NYC compares. From what I understand all special Ed is its own district (75) regardless of geographic location. Thanks in advance!

I live in the city and my son is in a self-contained class in his home district.

That district is supposed to be wonderful

I have had no complaints with my son's needs being met. He is dyslexic and dysphasic. They were able to get him a reading specialist and he is having an adaptive technology evaluation as well.

It depends on what type of setting they recommend. I work in a D75 autism program with in the geographical area of D26 and have nothing but good things to say about it.

I am a therapist in Queens. I find that kids i work with verse parents that i know on the island tend to get more in the city....that being said for CSE (kindergarten) the programs on Li tend to be much better. It also depends on your child, level of functioning etc. Good luck!

Thanks for all the responses! I hadn't logged on in a few days. My son is an 8:1:2 now and will be in an 8:1:2 for pre k so realistically I'll be looking at an 8 or a 10 for k (although obviously who really knows). Do community schools offer such restrictive rooms?

I believe the smallest class size community schools offer is 12:1:2. Anything smaller is district 75 I think.
