[quote=Anonymous]There are at least two elementary schools with Aspergers Programs.  You don't have to live in their catchment to have your child attend.  I think the advice to live near Tilden is good, so if she doesn't qualify, she will still be in a school with extra support and can be in supported classes if needed. This means she will be in her school community in middle school and high school. This gives the option to try a local elementary in the Tilden MS catchment and if her needs are too great you can request placement in an AS Program school.  The program is mainstreamed for part of the day but has some separate classes where attention is usually needed more.  The AS program staff know the kids are bright and are able to offer support in that context.  AS symptoms can emerge stronger as kids get closer to 8 and 9 when organizational and social demands increase so it's wise to be thinking ahead as you are.  The good news is as they mature into adolescents sometimes, not always, the challenges become more manageable as their nervous systems mature and the kids learn to advocate for themselves.[/quote]
