"I have three children. My eight year old will be in fourth grade and has been diagnosed with mild autism. He is currently in a regular third grade classroom. My six year old will be in second grade. He has been diagnosed with mild to moderate autism. He is currently being mainstreamed into a regular first grade classroom. My two year old will be three in May.

I am currently living in JC Ellis school district, but they will finish the year in St. Tammany Parish. I am interested in any information you can provide for any of my children's education. I want to enroll them in the fall."

Hi Kim,

To find schools for your older children, visit SchoolFinder, an online directory you can use to research the contact information for the school district and local schools (so that you may follow up directly to learn about their enrollment policies and procedures, as well as inquire about special needs accommodations): http://www.education.com/schoolfinder/

For your younger child, here is information for helping prepare for preschool: http://www.education.com/topic/preschool-readiness/

This resource center may also be of value to you for your children who have been diagnosed with autism: http://www.education.com/topic/autism-spectrum-disorders/

Thanks for asking!
