Re: BAUDHUIM PRESCHOOL FOR HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISTIC CHILD

May 6, 2008

You will do well at Baudhuim. My son was also higher functioning.

Remember the school is a part of the family center ( lots of typical

childern) the classrooms are apart but are very well balanced . Higher

functioning childern will be placed in higher functioning class rooms

..The typical family center and Baudhuim childern play side by side in

the play grand. You will also have a great support system for yourself

as well at Baudhuim. I think it will be the best choices. Good luck and

God bless your little angel.

and mom

P.S. is 10 years old now but started Baudhuim at 3 years of age

..These are the tougher years for you , but I promise you. It will get

better . Hang in there. It is all going to get better . And always when

you lease expect it . Good luck.
