[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 708594, member: 1550"] I disagree. I feel this is idealistic. You can do that for her at home but most normal schools dont have the staff or money to revise a whole new cirriculum, plus special computers for one student. I do think the art is important, but homebound ed could help with that. Also my son benefitted from social skills classes. School provided that and he made friends thetr. We can not pretend the world is the problem. That doesnt help our kids. The world is as it is and we need to find the right supports and interventions to teach them how and aid them sometimes in fitting into it. There are ways. All kids/adults on the autism spectrum have social issues. But autistic kids with good interventions tend to improve with time. So I feel it is best to address the issues and help her that way while letting the school do its best. It sounds as if they are doing their best. You are lucky. We had to fight the schools. Exhausting. Anyhow you have to do what you feel is best for your daughter and I hope she does well like my son has. You now have a few varying opinions :) [/QUOTE]
