My daughter is about to enter APS Kindergarten and she has High Functioning Autism.  She is almost mainstream with a little needed help. 

Has anyone out there dealt with APS when dealing with a child that has needs?  Is there a better school to recommend?

Hi lehouser:

I'm located in California.

Sorry about the link issue. Try just this link: ww2.aps.edu/ Once you're in, click on "APS Departments." From the drop down menu, choose "Special Education." On that page, look to the left and you'll see "Autism." Click there and you should see a list of departments. You can also check out the "Preschool" link.

Do you mind if I ask what school your child attended.

Hi, thank you for the link but the site is not found. Can you tell me if there is a generalized location on APS's site?

Hi lehouser:
To help you gain more information: here is a link to the APS website: www.aps.edu/aps/specialed/autism.html.

It sounds like your daughter already has an IEP in place. It's probably best to call or visit the school(s) your interested in and meet with the special ed person in charge to gain more information. Bring your daughter's IEP with you so you're better able to discuss her needs when she starts Kindergarten.

May I suggest you join the Autism & Asperger's Group here: community.greatschools.net/groups/18940. You'll find helpful websites listed there, as well as other parents who may be able to chime in with ideas.
