OUSD Preschool experience with IEP?

Hi Everyone,
Our 3 year old son was recently assessed by OUSD and they found he’s on the autism spectrum, but a bit more on the mild side. He’s verbal and has great vocabulary and has made tons of friends at his current preschool, but can work on word and sentence structure, pronunciation, conversations with others, emotional regulation, attention, and transitions. OUSD recommended he attend one of their preschools that have social and speech services integrated into the general classroom. 

We’ve been researching OUSD preschools and a few seem promising for our needs - Laurel, Kaiser, Burbank. Curious if anyone sent their kids (especially with an IEP but open to any thoughts) to any of these programs or other ones? We’ve read that parent engagement seems much lower at these schools and have seen mixed reviews on the effectiveness of services. I’d also add that we’re only going to need to do this for a year as he’s eligible for TK Fall 2026 and plan to enroll him at our neighborhood school Glenview which will have services. Also curious if anyone in a similar situation ended up going a different route outside of OUSD schools.


Thanks!

Jordan
