Thanks very much for your response...maybe we can chat via email as well?

We are a teaching couple with a 9 year old son on the autism spectrum. He is very high functioning and is in a regular classroom at his current school. He benefits from OT and Speech, as well a teachers that are willing to work with a few of his quirks (very scared of fire drills, etc.) and communicate with us about what learning techniques he uses best.

He does not need a self-contained space...but does need more than just to be left entirely on his own in a regular classroom, He is academically very bright and there are no academic concerns. He is also a very friendly and well-behaved kiddo, with no behavioral concerns.

Any insights from anyone familiar with international schools that might have the resources he may need would be appreciated. Thanks!

We are interested in the experience of other international teachers concerning schools that do a good job of serving their special needs population.

It is pretty obvious when a school does not have any services to offer. But a bit harder to tell if a school that indicates services on their web-site really do a decent job.

What international schools do a good job of providing services for students with special learning needs? Or, what tips can you pass along to us as we continue our extensive research?

Thanks in advance!
