Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hey ! We are enrolling in Westlake Academy. We were all set for his next year at Sawgrass but then got a call from the Autism charter school in Hialeah telling us he got a spot for next year. It was such an awesome program but we decided it wasn't the right fit for Griff. Long story short, we had read the article in Sun-sentinel about Westlake and I didn't do much about checking it out because I was in my Sawgrass comfort zone. Then the Hialeah school got us thinking about other options so we checked it out last week, filed for McKay, got it and they are helping with what wasn't covered. They are capping it off at 65 kids for the Academy. On staff ESE specialist with much experience as well as the Behavior specialist. They update the IEP goals every 3 weeks and what I really like is they want to see him go to the Summit school (middle point between the academy and the prep school). If it works out, Griff can stay there thoughout his entire school career. We also are lucky enough to be friends with Griff's teacher for Sawgrass and she has helped us compare what he will be doing in her class next year to what they offer at Westlake. It's a new program, but the school itself has been around for years. We planned on holding Griff back before he leaves Sawgrass so as far as we are concerned, it's a year of experimenting with nothing to lose. Hope this helps lol. > > > > > > > Have any of you heard of the Summit Point Program at Westlake Academy > > School? > > > > * Paz* > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------ > > Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
