[Guest guest]

Hi -

Thought I'd let you know that if you do ever decide to move to San

they have a school just for ds kids. I thought of sending Rudy at one time

(they provide boarding as well) but couldnt bear the thought of not seeing

him every day. selfish huh? lol

: They have a school here in Dallas too (no

boarding tho), Notre Dame. It's actually for

developmentally delayed kids (not just DS). Also, a

couple of years ago they opened a RISE school here (If

you read Gene Stallings book, Another Season, you'll

know what this is). I took a tour of Notre Dame last

year - I was very impressed, but not keen on the idea

that they wouldn't have the " inclusion " like they'd

get thru the public school. The behavior of all the

kids I saw was AMAZING. They were wonderful. Polite,

no screaming, yelling, running down the halls. It

also seemed to be a very loving and nurturing

atmosphere. I know a few people who have their kids

in RISE. That school is inclusive, but I have heard

they are having a hard time getting non-ds kids to go

there. Tuition is extremely expensive but I hear they

have a very generous scholarship program. The Dallas

Cowboys have a program called " First Downs for Down

Syndrome " and everytime they make a " first down " they

donate money to the RISE school (again, that old Gene

Stallings tie).
