I was wondering if anyone knows of a good public elemenatry shool that offers special Ed classes for autistic children entering kindergarden. Looking for one that has a good reputation for having not only an appropriate program but aslo one with experienced, caring teachers.

I don't know about LA, but those schools are much harder to find than you would think! All the special ed teachers I've seen seem to be on some power-trip where they just do what's best for themselves rather than the kids. There was this one teacher back in Freshman year whom locked a girl in the closet because she was upset. The teacher didn't even care why she was upset. She just said, "Oh, she's just being Jennifer." And that's actually very common for those teachers to do things like this!

This isn't Craigslist, and some of us have hypersensitivities, so could you please refrain from shouting?

Wow. I would't imagine that happend anymore. Back in my day, the special ed teachers at my school (a limited sample to be sure) were really very caring. I volunteered to help out in the classes. It was really a nice atmosphere. Not too much pressure.

All caps in the title

Speaking of things to change - I think that this is more likely to attract useful advice over in the parenting forum.
