    - the public NEST programs are great for that. If you want private, plenty of the SN privates like that sort of a profile. Summit comes to mind.

- I would look into the ASD NEST program. There was a boy in my DC's class last year exactly like that and Mom is thrilled with the ASD NEST program. If you give me your region # I will give you the contact person. I have the list of that I got at the turning 5 orientation.
