Looking For A Good School System
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I have 4 children. The two oldest, with ASD and learning disabilities are now 24 and 22. Before entering school, my youngest son showed signs of delay but I was reassured he was not on the spectrum. By 3rd grade he was falling farther behind but the school could not provide any explanation or help.

Hi Christy,
There are several charters.. There is one in Raleigh, a tech charter in RDU, a charter in WF but, I hear has a wait list now... See if you can get him on that.. He's going into 6th grade correct?
In Raleigh there is a prestigious boys charter school. I really wanted Ben to go to.. It just was for him..
If I can help search please let me know. πŸ’™ Lisa

I think he would do much better in a charter school but have not been able to get him into one. I believe my oldest was able to graduate because he went to a charter school starting in 9th grade. My next son went to public school the entire time and it was a nightmare and he dropped out in 10th grade. So for now I homeschool my 11 year old which I started when I began to have the same trouble with the public schools as I did with my other two. I can't afford private school. What is a homeschool co-op?

How old is your son and would you ever consider a non public school?
We have had no choice. Our School System has failed our son in our eyes. So we are opening a Homeschool co-op. Because our young teen can't be the only one!

I think they accept insurance now, too!

Thank you. I am familiar with TEACCH in Chapel Hill. They were a big help with my 22 year old but I have not dealt with them in a long time so I actually had forgotten them as a resource. Thanks for reminding me!
