[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that is shocking.  I thought they were a school of last resort, for very impaired kids.  If that happens what the hell are you supposed to do?  The poor parents.[/quote]

Yeah - that's the rub - the whole time I was homeschooling my crazy impaired son people (with no actual knowledge ) would always say ''there are programs for that you know' so you doubt yourself. But really  no - no there are not programs for him. Lots of programs for higher functioning less difficult kids, not so much for him.[/quote]

I think it's just really rare to find an institution that truly believes that their job is teaching children AS THEY ARE.  When you find a rare teacher or program like that, it's like gold.  [/quote]

We never found that for our son. We just found endless stress in people trying to fit our 'years away from being able to sit' kid into the 'sit at circle time every day at 3 years old' world. He can now happily sit for an hour long music (and academic) lessons  - who cares if he couldn't sit for circle time at 3 ? Or for years after that. 
We're (his parents) scientists and not teachers and I'm sure that helped keep things in perspective. I think it made adapting things for a particular kid - and not going by a script - easier.[/quote]
