Re McKay, Yes, you can enroll him in any school that takes McKay, regardless of

which District. Our son attended a McKay School in Dade, we live in Broward.

My son was mainstramed starting in Kinder...if he meets the criteria to be fully integrated, the

public school (the appropriate school) will meet with you and will place him in the least restricted

setting. If he requires an aide in the classroom, they will (and have to) provide one. You can use the

McKay for another school (be it private or public) that is not within your area....contact the McKay and

public school for further info. My son is now finishing 1st grade in the integrated class w/aide.

Hi there,

My son was in the integrated class at Baudhuin last year. Three of the boys from the integrated class were assigned to same Elementary school. The teachers at Baudhuin recommeneded that one of the boys be 100% mainstreamed, the other 100% cluster and the third spend some time in each environment. It really just depends on the individual needs of each child. Apart from working at grade-level, other factors that I think influence the recommendations for 100% mainstream is independent functioning, completion of non-preferred activities and safety awareness.
