Jaime: Is there a maximum number of students that should be in a self-contained autism classroom in NJ? I thought it was 6, but there are 8 kids in my son’s class, but the room is set up for 6. I hear rumors of them trying to change the room from an autism classroom to a multiple disabilities classroom. This worries me since my son imitates a lot of inappropriate behavior.
Hi Jaime. In a NJ elementary autism class it is illegal.
