Has anyone got any feedback about Churchill Secondary School's designated HFA/Asperger's classroom, for Grades 7 & 8 students?
This is the pilot year for this program and I've been in negotiation with VSB to get my 14-year old son into it for Grade 9 in Sept 2006, as the program is looking to expand into the higher grades then. From my understanding, all of the 10 current students there are capable of varying degrees of inclusion into Churchill's regular student body, and the focus of the designated clasroom is to provide individualized academics as well as social skills programming, with inclusion time as appropriate. Classroom instruction is provided by a teacher, and there are support staff as well.

The application cut-off date for consideration of students is January 18th, with Jan 19/06 as the panel review meeting (to which I've been invited).

I'd love to hear from any parents with opinions on this new program.
