[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in DC and have an ASD kid in an inclusive setting (ie., not a self-contained autism classroom), what schools are you applying for? Specifically interested in elementary. Child is a rising kindergartner. I'm thinking of Creative Minds, Inspired Teaching, SWS. Others I should consider? Thx.[/quote] What's your time horizon? Our multiple years of experience at CM was decidedly mixed - the school just does't provide teachers sufficiently comprehensive PD support for the challenge of inclusion. And very few teachers have enough teaching experience to come in what that set of skills. Some get there, some don't, but there aren't enough SPED staff to push in and fill the gap. That combined with the prevalence of project-based work means that the classroom can be disorganized, and hard for a HFA to manage, depending on sensitivities and behaviors. [/quote]
