Guest guest Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Try YMCA Broward; they have several special need locations at different schools throughout the county. I personally have not used the program, but I do know it exists. You may also want to try calling 211.

But they cannot accomodate him so he is bused to bright horizons in the united cerebral palsy program. Kids from 5-22 in the same class , all exceptionalites and quite upsetting and chaotic for my child. Does anyone know of any alternatives? What do working parents in broward do with their autistic children? I get a call every other day or so to get my child early because he is crying at aftercare.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I would be very upset if my son was crying in aftercare too... I don't understand why his school won't accommodate him. I'd think he'd be able to stay at the school he attends for aftercare. My son attends a karate afterschool program and I pay extra for him to have a buddy to help him when he needs it.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Some of the aftercare programs at the schools are run by other contractual companies and not the school system and so are not set up for special needs. Its unfortunate that the YMCA used to have so many of the aftercare programs in so many schools and no longer do. However, if they have an afterschool program at your school, it may be helpful for you to contact the director of the program and assist with inclusion of your child.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I think they receive funds for having our children go to them and they should care. I am thinking w this thread of aftercare they are starting to listen to us. It is probably a good idea to talk w our advocates and explain. We also have this Meyerson wanting to support us. I think it is time for these type of schools to open their eyes and touch their hearts and see what they might lose if they don't help.Sent from my BlackBerry® on the MetroPCS NetworkFrom: deborahdunn@...Sender: sList Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 14:20:33 +0000To: <sList >ReplyTo: sList Subject: Re: Aftercare My sons school said they cannot accommodate him and that I could have him bused to another school where they had the United Cerebral Palsy program.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 There are some private afterschool programs that will take our kids. It may be that they need a buddy/shadow/mentor to help and that can cost extra. But I'd start calling around. And be very honest about your son's challenges and strengths. From: austintandt@...
