The public school programs available for kids with autism are going to (hopefully!) look a lot different in a few years. But for now, there are only a limited number of school districts who have a reasonable handle on how to teach these kiddos. And unfortunately...this ain't one of 'em :(Mama Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381495916734086130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525968280368748077.post-17915097102692542422008-10-16T14:59:00.000-07:002008-10-16T14:59:00.000-07:00That is more dough than we as a family bring in pe...That is more dough than we as a family bring in per year. incredible. shouldnt these services be given to our children, isnt it a right?

Second, the first school has 22 students, the second is new and only has 3. (but is expanding to 6 in the coming weeks) These schools all have dedicated staff consisting of: speech therapist, occupational therapist, and physical therapist, as well as teachers.

And then aside from that...they offer the parents a masseuse and nail technician at their disposal anytime during the school day.<BR/><BR/>Okay...so I made up that last part!Mama Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381495916734086130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525968280368748077.post-32903544554463950842008-10-16T10:27:00.000-07:002008-10-16T10:27:00.000-07:00Why are they so much?
