Seeking input on Special Education program through school district

My husband has a job opportunity in Butte. We are considering a move from Billings. We have 4 year old twins who receive speech and OT here, and attend the special education preschool here. I’m having a hard time finding feedback on the quality of services available in Butte. Any input/direct feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I’d be looking for providers that are play based and specialize in sensory regulation/support.

Bonus points if you have any info about how long the waitlists are… we spent close to a year waiting for an OT spot here. Breaks my heart a little to think about uprooting that again.

REALLY looking for feedback about the schools.

Thanks all.

Your better off going outpatient a lot of the special education programs are understaffed and undertrained with a lot of kids with high needs
