I work with families all the time who feel trapped by the lack of supports they feel are available to their precious child with special needs.
It might surprise you to know that these families are experiencing frustrations within both the public and private school jurisdictions. Yes, that's right! Placing your child in a private school setting doesn't always solve all your problems.
You must determine the best possible fit for your child. In some cases, that program may be just down the street at your local public school. In other instances, a private school setting may help your child to flourish and progress.
Keep in mind that no one school will be perfect, but finding the program that is as close to perfect as possible is key to making your child's school experience positive and successful!
Which program/school has provided your child with the most success and happiness?

Thank-you for starting this discussion.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter did not receive the support that she needed in her regular public school classroom. We tried an alternative program offered by Edmonton Public schools and that was better in terms of support, but still not the right environment for her. We are now home schooling and it has been an amazing experience for us. She is happy and confident and doing well and receiving tons of support through Argyll Centre.
