My wife and mother both do work with special needs kids in a number of districts in Middlesex County. As you noted, both Metuchen and Edison have great reputations. In recent years, due to its size, Edison has been able to provide excellent services for the special needs population.
Feel free to contact me for more information. My wife may be able to give you some additional guidance (she is a child psychologist).
