[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe try Nora School. Peers social skills groups as well. [/quote] I wouldn't do the Nora school. They don't have any experience in helping kids with Autism. Teachers are mixed, some good and some not so good. I would stay in the public school particularly if they are doing well[/quote] My autistic child is at Nora and I disagree with this. First, he's not doing well if he's depressed and anxious, no matter his grades. My child at Nora has friends and likes going to school for the first time in years and that is my main priority. It is true that Nora teachers (like most private school teachers) aren't certified in special ed or anything else, but they certainly have experience teaching autistic students, since so many Nora students are autistic. Like at all schools, some teachers are better than others (the science instruction is particularly weak) but they understand anxiety better than any other school.[/quote]
