best school district in Houston fo Autism

[Guest guest]

My daughter is 5 years old and has been diagnosed with high functioning autism.

She has good language skills and play skills with other children.  She really

struggles with self regulating her behavior, transitioning, and sitting still

long enough to listen.  This Fall she will be in a bridge class to prepare her

for Kindergarten the next year.  She is emotionally not ready for a full day

Kinder yet.  I am thinking ahead for when she does go to kinder the next year

and I am concerned with how large the schools are in Katy.  We are zoned to a

really good school in Katy, but each grade level has 10 classes and I worry that

it will be too overwhelming for her.  Her sensory difficulties cause her to have

extreme meltdowns when there are too many people and she feels overwhelmed. I

think she can definitely be in a regular classroom if she has some support and a

good teacher.  I am looking for a school that is not too big, the teachers are

well

trained with autism, and there is a good diversity of children.  I feel like we

are caught in the middle because she is too high to be in a special school, but

she does struggle in a regular classroom.  I will move anywhere in Houston to

find the place that makes her feel the most successful.  Has anyone had any

experience with this or have any advice?  Thank you,
