Private schools | Autism PDD

Thanks for the info.  This is all so new. It's a little scary, trying to figure out the right thing for my son.  I just want him to be happy. 

We've been pretty lucky in our school system, Buckeye Valley. Some days, though, I'm just not to sure they understand how he works. 
I don't know any private schools but that one there. We used the public schools while there. Westerville and Dublin.

Edit to Add:
Autism Scholarship Program

The Autism Scholarship Program allows ODE to pay a scholarship to the parents of a qualified child with autism. Through the scholarship, parents have a choice of sending their child to a special education program, other than the one operated by their child's school district, to receive the services outlined in the child's individualized education program (IEP).

The Autism Scholarship Program for 2006-2007 began July 1, 2006, and continues through June 30, 2007.

• Autism Scholarship Program Guidelines, Parent and Provider Applications (PDF | Word)

Please note that individuals/entities approved as registered private providers for the purpose of the Autism Scholarship Program (ASP) may not provide all services required by a child’s individualized education program (IEP). Parents should ensure that all services included on their child’s IEP will be/are being provided by a registered private provider(s) approved to provide services under the ASP.

My 5 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD, PDD, and ODD last fall.  We made it through kindergarten OK, but have been considering sending him to a private school. Does anyone from the Columbus OH area know of some good schools we can look into?  We've only come across Summit Academy.  Is this a good school?  Any info would be wonderful.  We want to find the best education we can for our son. 

Thank you!
