This is casting a wide net but which district and/or states provide the best inclusion programs? Especially those which embrace the concept that all kids can benefit from practices that work for different learners. I'm in Nevada and thinks it's way backwards. We are in NYS and I have experience with a couple of schools. My son is mainstreamed and has a consultant teacher and teachers aide along with the teacher in a 'regular' class. He isn't ASD, but the CSE chairperson is supposedly and Expert on autism and adaptations. They do the best they can, all books, folders, even papers are color coded for 4th grade. That is Morrisonville Elementary in Saranac School District. My ASD boys go to a District wide Special Ed school. The school was trying to boot them instead of deal with them. They had ds w/asd, adhd in a room where none of the kids could walk without help. He spent most of his time in a Rifton chair because the other were 'fragile.' The SE school tried to say they didn't say they would boot them and now our school district records EVERY cse meeting. The school ever changed their visistation policy to keep out our Crisis Intervention Team. We got Keith Emerson from Tri-State (Autism consultants) to say "no, you haven't done enough here to control his environment to say you can't service him here". My boys are now in an Autism class with 2 others (4 total) and it has been great! They haven't even been able to graph behavior issues because there aren't enough. Needless to say, when we speak, they listen! |
