I have a nonverbal autistic child in my class

And today I just discovered he knows his colors through a matching game I played with him. 😅 He’s come from a very unstable environment and has experienced a rough home life so he’s made so much progress when it comes to being more emotionally regulated and on a routine vs when he first started. He also has a more stable environment now thankfully. ❤️

I mentioned to his guardians today that I noticed he knew his colors, because I wasn’t sure if they knew and they didn’t 😭 which was really wholesome and sweet for how excited they were for him. I’ve only had him in my class for a few months because he came in the middle of the year and now it’s summer time so In August he will be going to a new class. Im terrified of his progress reverting back and him not getting the support and understanding he needs in the new class. I also really wanted to make him sensory boxes and toys for the new school year to help him improve more, because I’m aware the people he stay with are trying but old and aren’t able to focus much on that kind of thing. Im torn between asking if I can keep him for the new school year or let him move on. 🥺😣 I know the two teachers he’ll most likely get and I just know they won’t have the patience for him and he’ll probably be neglected socially and mentally because they may just assume he knows nothing and focus more on the other students than him. 💔
