Why do you  want to put her in a segregated school?  IDEA requires that all children with disabilities be educated in the Least Restrictive Enviornment, which usually means they attend their neighborhood schools, unless there is a specific reason they can't.  This legislation was put in place because it is usually better for kids to be educated with typically developing peers for many reasons. So unless there is some reason she needs to be in a special school, your local elementary school may be the best place for her.

To ensure she gets a good education, stay involved and don't hesitate to speak up on her behalf.
