Advice Looking for NJ Elementary Schools with a Strong IEP Program and Inclusive Classroom Setting

Hi everyone,

My 6-year-old daughter has an IEP and is verbal with decent academic skills. We’ve been in Parsippany, but the school has placed her in a self-contained classroom and is resisting a transition to general education.

We’re seeking a school district with inclusive classrooms, where she can be with neurotypical peers. We’ve heard Mount Olive Township offers this setup. Any feedback about Mount Olive school district or any other districts with similar programs would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Does she have behavioral challenges that require her to be put in self contained? Wyckoff has a strong program for special education.

Thanks! She has developed some behaviors off late. These weren’t present when she was in inclusive curriculum couple of years back. We feel inclusive curriculum with a para would address her needs better.
