[quote=Anonymous]Can I suggest that you ask the school which public school system they are closest too? One county in the Diocese does a better job at extended supports to dual enrolled students than the other. Meaning, if the student's IEP in public school (if they went) requires speech therapy, they would permit the child to come to public school for 30 minutes a week (or what have you) for that therapy. Another county has a more "if they can afford private tuition, they can afford private therapy" model. Also, not every child with Down Syndrome has the same need for supports. Would the child require a 1:1 aide? Would they need assistance with feeding/toileting? Are there vision issues? Are there cardiac concerns? Gross motor issues? Communication needs? You, as the parent, will be the case manager so try to find a school that can answer these questions easily (or who ask the important questions of YOU). [/quote]
