We are wondering how the self contained special needs classrooms are in the Prescott Areas.

We are hoping to relocate to either Prescott, Prescott Valley, or Chino Valley. Our child is multipy disabled and we want the best place for him.

Hi! I am currently a stay at home mom, but working on my teaching certification in special ed. I have discovered Willow Creek Charter School in Prescott as an excellent place! I plan on doing my teaching praticums there. Let me know if I can be of any help!

Unfortunately, Greatschools is a nationwide forum, and the chance of finding another family from the same town, with a child having the same diagnoses, is slim. How old is your son? (Are you seeking an elementary school, or is he in middle school or high school?) Have you tried using the "Research and Compare" feature on the green menu bar near the top of this page, to see what schools are in the area, and perhaps contacting them directly to ask about their special education services?

I have found the best way to find out about good schools and other resources in a given area is by joining a parent support group in the local community. For example, if your child has ADHD, a CHADD parent support chapter (www.chadd.org) might be helpful, or if they had dyslexia try IDA, or www.thearc.org is good for autism/downs syndrome.
For general info/support, I'd also like to invite you to join Greatschools Learning and Attention Difficulties Group at community.greatschools.net/groups/11554
