[quote=Anonymous]My DD went to the Connections program at Tilden MS (formerly known as Aspergers/ASP) and we were very satisfied with the level of support and communication from staff. She has two resource classes to start and end her day and the rest of the classes are a mix of self-contained, co-taught (w/ SpEd teacher or para), and just regular gen ed classes. She is continuing in the same program for high school because it worked very well for us. The teachers that work with her are all very kind and because the program is there, it feels like even the non-SpEd teachers "get" these kids.

We are out of boundary for Tilden but they send a bus that picks her up from our house. It's a little different than going to the home school because we're not in the neighborhood and don't always feel like a part of the community. But being around other autistic kids and forming friendships, and having a designated safe space to do that, has been really beneficial for her and for our family.[/quote]
