Course: Preparing My Child With Autism For Mainstream Learning Part 1
(Focus: EIP)
Most parents would like to place their child in the mainstream learning path whenever possible. Each student with autism is different and needs different levels of support and you will need to access each situation to see if what kind of school is more suitable for them.
If you are you considering a mainstream education placement for your child who has been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, you may have the following questions to ask:
- How do you know if your child is ready for mainstream education?
- What do you need to know?
- And how do you prepare your child and yourself?
Attend this workshop to find out the answers to these questions and more.
