[quote=Anonymous]My daughter sounds just like your son. Her current school has an autism program; that’s not appropriate for HFA. I’ve seen it; it’s more life skills. I’m working with an advocate and leaning towards a learning center where she’ll get pull out for most if not all academics and be with General Ed for extracurriculars, lunch and recess. We’re zoned for DuFief as a learning center. Our tutor who worked in a learning center seems to think this is a great choice for my daughter and there will be more kids with externalizing behaviors but she’ll also have peers. She says some kids with HFA stay in general Ed for science or social studies. College Gardens ES has been fantastic trying to meet her needs, but she’s still 2 grade levels behind and starting to opt out of general Ed — ask for breaks, zone out. Shes just too far behind academically. This is how I’m leaning, but I’m scared to move her from where she’s been making social / emotional progress. [/quote]
