Autism: Autistic children are socially handicapped. Attending school will help improve their socialization. The school setting is usually intensive special ed and much has been done to improve their learning. Many autistic children have learned how to express themselves and tackle daily activities of living.

Various factors: Children >2 yrs. Old with autism are evaluated through the school district by a multidisciplinary team assessment for levels of development & degree of autism. Then parents & educators make an individual educational plan, placing the child in the least restrictive setting + needed supports. Many kids who start in a pre-k "autism classroom" progress to " regular ed" class + supports after kg.
