Program

The child has autism, and the parents' plan is to have him attend my program on Mon and Tues, and another program Wed to Fri. The programs are at 2 different schools. I think this is a terrible idea, and would like to have him full time in my class or the other class. Parents had an area board advocate at the meeting, and this is what the team came up with (I was not at the meeting)

Am I wrong in thinking this is a bad move for a child with autism in particular? He already has trouble adjusting to school, and being socially appropriate (I know, big surprise there!)

Just wanted to send out feelers. I tend to be a mother hen for my kids and get all worked up when I think they are being wronged.

routine and structure are paramount for our kids to be able to learn.

This parent is not very clued up.

if this happens and the school week is split,then problems are going to arise from the start.

the chld will not kknow the diferant social ettiquette for both sets of classes.

this shhould be put off if possible

If only these teachers could be in our kids body for a short while. There is actually a case where a parent sued in civil court - and won -when a teacher refused to provide accomodations. Yipee!
