Excellent post. It also isn’t fair to the other students who are having their learning disrupted all the time by the special needs student.
You understand though that someone must provide those resources right? And that presently most states do not provide a voucher system that parents of an autistic child can take their funding with them when they use a special school? I don’t know about you, but 20 grand a year is not in my budget, but i do know that public schools are REQUIRED to provide for parents who have registered their children to go to those schools with a certain amount of funding for their education.
The issue with vouchers must be continually addressed if you and others would like to see our children served properly. You can not ask me to segregate my child, but not allow me the same oppurtunity to fund his education that other typical public school students have.
