Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Well, we found a small christian school....and we priced it and to send 3 kids it will only cost 60 dollars a week.........this I think I can scrape up I hope.....so big changes coming in the next few months. cheryls private schools Wow I found a private autism school in Colorado springs. Tuition for part time is $18,500 and tuition for full time is $30,000 and all that includes summer. You all guessed it they would never have a public school for autism here in Colorado!!!! http://www.coloradoinstituteofautism.org/Schoolprograms.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I am just worried Cheryl will the christian school support your daughter? We have private christian schools here that are good for the regular child but for special needs well just doesnt work. Here they want to kick your child out of school or exclude them because they just dont have the resources. How will this christian school support your daughter? If she does odd bizarre behaviors how will they react? Will they kick her out of school like there allowed to do in private schools in the US? Lots of questions but I am curious.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I figured to afford that plus mortgage I best be a doctor or a drug dealer LOLOL. Your right alot of money. Instead of forcing people here to go on assistance they can place more enphasis on education and people will not have to go on assistance for help. I may get my check book out and fly everyone here to Cheryls house for pizza rolls and pepsi LOLOLOL Charlene -- Re: private schools Wow Charlene! Is that all? Just get your check book out.... LOL!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 went to a typical private Christian school last year. I loved it. On ' bday I took stuff for a party. After the teacher had them sing happy bday she had each child say what they liked most about , while sat at the front of the class and listened. On the flip side, they said they are not equipped to deal with special ed because their curriculum moves so fast. In fact, we're sending Jess to public next year because she struggled academically. But I sure will miss the Christian teachings that seemed to be taught and lived by at that school.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Wow Charlene that's pocket change. lol I guess one thing I do have going for me here in VA is we have a wonderful public special ed pre- school. Of course after the age of 4 theres only the regular public schools. I found out this week that Sky will be going there starting in Sept. for 2 days a week w/a home visit from one of her special ed teachers 1 time a week. They provide the bus transportation too. I can't believe I'll be putting my 2 1/2 year old on a bus in a few months! Wendie > Wow I found a private autism school in Colorado springs.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I think it depends on the teacher. For example, 's kindergarten teacher had her first job working in a therapeutic nursery for sexually abused preschoolers, then worked in K-5 school in the worst projects in Knoxville. Even though she teaches at a private Christian school now, she could not get enough hearing about Allie and what we are doing for her. Her father told me that as a child (they were a missionary family who lived in Africa) that Becky, 's teacher, became best friends with a disabled girl in the village. In addition, I would watch how they handled " problem children " of " typical functioning " . They were always very loving and seemed to really try to work with the child on individual struggles. And, they tied it all in to Christ's teachings, which is all about Love and acceptance, anyway. Debi > I am just worried Cheryl will the christian school support your > daughter?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Yes, I have thought of all this in regards to Hannah as well, but I have 2 NT kids that I must think about as well. If it was just hannah I would move to the other side of the world if I knew I could find a school who would do her wonders.....but I don’t and I can’t. As far as I am concerned Hannah isn’t doing well academically in the public system...they have just decided she can’t keep up, so they are just giving her what they think she can do.......no real challenge at all. I convinced them to give her a much harder home reader to try.....and she is doing real well, with me sitting with her and reading it..so I am glad I told them to give her a try. If this school change means that I have to be at the school nearly every day.......then at school I will be. My youngest starts school next year too......so at least I can be at the school without leaving him at home with dad. It is so hard trying to decide what is best for each of my kids........we shall know more after we see the principal on Tuesday. cherylS private schools > > > Wow I found a private autism school in Colorado springs. > Tuition for part time is $18,500 and tuition for full time is $30,000 > and all > that includes summer. > You all guessed it they would never have a public school for > autism here in Colorado!!!! > http://www.coloradoinstituteofautism.org/Schoolprograms.html > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Hey better wait till this house sells.......and they tell me that brick houses are out of fashion at the moment......so we may never sell.....hahahaha, and I better get the other house built.....which could take awhile as the developer thinks we are going to buy the 3 acres without electricity and phone........haha, has he got a shock coming......our lawyer knows what he is on about.........but when it is all done.....sure, come on over, I will throw you in the field with the horse my 10 year insists on getting.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Yes, you have a point........well, they tell me they have 3 aspergers kids already...where as Hannah isn’t aspergers......and there is a difference, I don’t care what anyone says..and they have a down syndrome child as well, we shall have an idea after Tuesday when we go and see the principal.....we are taking all the kids with us.......so he can see her. I have been asking around, and it seems that christian schools here get the money from the same source, so if Hannah is getting 12 hours a week in public.....she should be able to retain this in private.....i am hoping and praying anyway..if not, it maybe a mummy over the fence each morning, this is why we bought the land bordering onto the school, and I have to think of my other 2 kids...it is so hard when you have a mixed bunch. cherylS RE: private schools Well, we found a small christian school....and we priced it and to send 3 kids it will only cost 60 dollars a week.........this I think I can scrape up I hope.....so big changes coming in the next few months. cheryls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Wendie when I took michelle to preschool in Anchorage at age 3 for 4 days a week I thought she would be upset. The only one upset with tears was me as just ran on that bus and looked out the window smiling. Well good some services. Transportation is a biggie gives you some free time. Only two days a week is a start but its not enough. Raton New Mexico only did two days a week also for 3 year olds. So Virginias program matches New Mexico. Alaska however had it 4 days a week 2 1/2 hour days. Pemberton New Jersey had it 5 days a week 2 1/2 hour days for mild and severe had it 5 days a week 6 hour days for there preschool. No kidding. I feel the school she is going too in Virginia is inadequate but but but its a start and in our situations beggers can not be choosy LOLOLOL> Now I like to hear how a teacher will be going to the home once a week. They did not have that in New Mexico. How much OT and speech will Sky get?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 I am so gald you were able to find such a good teacher for Allie. That does not happen everyday. Is it possible to never give this teacher up? When we first got to Colorado in oct 2000, the local district only had 2 1/2 hour kindergarten and my NT son was used to all day kindergarten. So I went to Trinidad Catholic. There they denied enrollment due to her needs and was excepted. One day towards the end of school he was in the cafeteria. Well they do not let them go to the bathroom on demand and well you know how 5 year olds are dont have to go now but have to go two minutes from now. So he had to go cocoa and was afraid to ask. The smell in the cafeteria got so bad they discovered what he did in no time. They yelled at him and sent him to the office. The office couldnt get ahold of me. I had no phone and was busy with the delivery of our house (the one were in now). they made a 5 year old boy sit on a hard wood bench in feces in the hallway for 2 1/2 hours. Then they proceeded to yell at me when I came to pick him up. Took me a while to catch on to what they were upset about because they didnt talk just yelled. I took into the bathroom had him clean himself up. Took his underwear off and kept pants on. See its much better to had no underwear on then feces underwear. I have been turned off of religious private schools since. Charlene -- Re: private schools went to a typical private Christian school last year. I loved it. On ' bday I took stuff for a party.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Sondra in the UK and Australia sometimes they speak english differently then ours. For example lemonade here is like 7-up there and so forth. anyway I know that mum or mummy is mom or mommy here.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Charlene trying to learn of things but what do this mean? " So he had to go cocoa and was afraid to ask " . Not sure what hot cocoa to mean in this? Do hims school give hot cocoa in the mornings and such but he wasn't allowed to have any and afraid to ask for it? Not sure why you son was not allowed to have it if other children's were unless you have hims on diet. Sondra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 So mummy means mom, but then what do she mean by a mom over the fence each day. why does she go over the fence, why does she not just go into the building front door. Just little confused. Sometimes words are such a challenge as they seem to mean less and less of what they say, but more and more of what they do not say.

They always had the children go to the bathroom before lunch and you were only allowed to once and couldnt go again until two hours later.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Well, the teacher I was talking about wasn't Allie's, but 's, my oldest NT child. Jess went to private Christian school and Jess's teacher was the one so interested in Allie's development/treatment, but they also worked very hard with kids who had behavioral issues at the school. I was very blessed, I had 2 great teachers for each of my kids. Debi > I am so gald you were able to find such a good teacher for Allie. > That does not happen everyday.
