Guest guest Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 These are all great schools. However, the Quest center is more involved with autism and they have an autism coach on staff. They have a great program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm sorry but I didn't want to say anything. All these schools are the same. Some in broward some in WPB. It is not the school that makes a difference. Its the staff and teachers which make a difference. So when you ask that question. Really you can't get a real answer from this group because staff members every year are different for most children. Very rarely do our kids keep the same staff through out their educational career. To make a decision on your childs education I highly recommend observe the school and see how teachers and staff interact with other kids on the spectrum. I as a mother always learn to make an observation at the begining of the school year and end of the school year. In his class and the possible teachers he would get in the future. Besides working as a therapist in some of the schools you mention. I highly recommend to advocate for your childs potential. I work with my son as well and I have a good understanding when it comes to his capacity and what we should be working on for his future. So its good to ask questions of goals to others who have experience like your childs therapist or even invite previous teachers to your current IEP. I hope this helps. Oh by the way my son attends Quest and the autism coach title isn't anything special. She is just a teacher as well that has experience working with the autism spectrum with that title. But soon a great deal will have experience without the title. aka enzos momConnected by MOTOBLUR™ on T-Mobile Re: Whispering Pines These are all great schools.
