We do not have that luxury. We have to take the full day, 5 days a week. We are going to have another IEP and see how open they might be to just a few days a week. An autism school...what is that like?
It has an adult for every child. They have a preschool and programs for school age children who can't have their needs met in a public school for whatever reason. She just started a couple of weeks ago, but I think she is settling in nicely, even though it is a really long bus ride to the school. I ride with her both ways every day and then the bus driver brings me home, so I ride for over four hours a day. She and I are the only pasengers on this small bus and I set up a DVD player with Bose headphones for her so she can watch movies on the bus if she wants to. It's a fairly new bus and all the seats have safety belts.
