[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had kids in the Asperger’s program at Walter Johnson HS?  Is it similar to the program at Tilden and Diamond where the kids have prescribed inclusion and special Ed classes and a resource period, or is it more flexible?  Just wondering if kids have more choice of classes (including electives) or not once they enter high school.  Any information from those whose kids are there, or have gone through the program, would be great.[/quote]

It's been a couple years, but my kid was in it. Didn't have any special ed classes other than resource (where Ms Onley in particular was fab!). Highly recommended.[/quote]

How does the program help them? Just that one resource class?[/quote]
That and a strong IEP with its accommodations, active case management helping with teachers, and co-teaching in every academic class. It helped to manage the workload and keep a fairly even keel.

We supplemented with other supports outside school as needed.[/quote]

OP here: this is a very different story than PP’s.  This is similar to what they get at the middle school level.  But are electives an option in HS?  They can’t do any electives (music, art, theater) in MS because it conflicts with the resource class.  Hoping HS is different.[/quote]
