[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about if the child is very bright but needs other academic support like in reading and math? Our DC has social skills and executive functioning goals but also reading, writing, and math. Will they implement those or would DC be excluded from the program because of them?[/quote] Yes they will provide support in those areas. Reading and writing are usually in the special ed class, with a lot of individualized instruction. Math is usually in gen ed, but can be done by the special ed teacher. As PP indicated, if your kid is around grade level, then the Asperger's Program would be a good fit. If your kid is well below grade level, then the autism program might be more appropriate since it offers a lot more support. The way to get into the Asperger's Program is to show that the home school can't meet your child's needs, but he is functioning at a higher level than the kids in the autism program.[/quote]
