[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Progressive schools can be a terrible option for autistic kids because oftimes e.g. the rules are unstated, and this... does not mix well with how they usually process information, there's typically more group work, a tendency for more chaotically run classrooms (workshop model vs lecture or even Socratic results in multiple things going on), less likely to have rituals, etc. Count your blessings, and find something more traditional.[/quote] +1. our public elementary operated in a progressive way and attracted “progressive” teachers and was often a disaster. transition to a DCPS middle school was a huge improvement albeit not without bumps. Much better to have structured classrooms with teachers and admins who believe their role includes keeping order. I will say though that the group work has been good for my kiddo because it gives a structured opportunity to socialize- but it tends to be structured and with clear goals. [/quote]
