Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hello we are relocating to Texas but I am trying to decide where, we are considering Austin or Dallas maybe Houston. My five year old little boy is verbal and HF but does have some behaviors and I am willing to try a VB classroom. I can not afford a private school and really need help with parents in put and experience with public schools, inclusion, resource rooms, teachers anything, if you can share your experiences or just email me some schools and areas to start with. We are going to visit soon, oh I am not excluding San or Houston. Nat and lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Our child is in a VB inclusion class in Pflugerville ISD which is outside of Austin. It is a Preschool class and has 7 spec ed kids and 5 inclusion (they call it Pegasus). Carrollton/ Farmers Branch in Dallas uses the same consultant and has a similar program. We have been pleased so far and have mild to moderate behavior issues as well. However, I don't know what kinder is like and you will be there next year (assuming he hasn't started kinder already). If he is verbal and HF the only thing that I could see keeping you out of an inclusion class is behavior issues. It depends on how severe it is. Of course I'm not on the inside, so who knows. I would call them and make appts to visit. Ask about all their different types of classes, inclusion, resource, ect. and 'behavior problem'. I've heard stories about the 'behavior problem class' (my description, not the school's or teacher's), and you don't want to be there. I don't want to scare you - very few kids end up there, and its probably no different than any other district. http://www.pflugervilleisd.net/ http://www.cfbisd.edu/ bousheboo2002 <bousheboo2002@...> wrote: Hello we are relocating to Texas but I am trying to decide where, we are considering Austin or Dallas maybe Houston.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Nat and , I can tell you that if your child is HF and verbal, you probably do not want to move to the Carrollton-Farmer's Branch school district. While they have a fine program for children who are severe, non-verbal, the same is not true of all classes. Best of luck! God bless!
