[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Certain schools have special education magnets and therefore more resource teachers.

Flora Singer is one that has some moderate income housing.

New Hampshire Estates has a special ed preschool which brings in higher numbers of therapeutic staff. NHE has a variety of housing and reasonable housing prices.  The neighborhoods off of Flower have great single family home neighborhoods.[/quote]

Question - do those extra staff mean there is extra support for students that are not part of the special ed magnet or preschool? In other words if your kid is not placed in the special ed magnet program (I assume you are referring to the Learning Center) then does it matter that the school has that program?[/quote]

It helps in a couple of ways.  Your student is more likely to have their needs on their IEP fulfilled if there are more staff in the school.  Also the staff in general is more aware of concerns and needs than in a school with fewer high needs kids.  And, there is some incidental therapy that happens.  My child did not qualify for a speech IEP however the speech therapist is in the classroom multiple time a day and is able to give small interventions along the way.[/quote]
