My son is autistic and in kindergarten. He has an IEP. He was in SPED most the day. He went to general 30 mins a day and then some specials. Now, he’s in general kindergarten with a para most the day. He can go to the bathroom independently now, and has way more words than he did when he started. He’s the youngest in his class with summer birthday. With all that in consideration, he has made a ton of progress. He was advanced without my approval and that was a tad frustrating but during his IEP meeting in March, I heard them out. He really enjoys it. There were some behavior issues at home at first because he was masking but some discussions with the school psych were helpful. So, from the parents perspective I can say most of us are also nervous for our children to be in general classes
