All's fair when trying to do for our kids, right?!? <<We took Elie to Elwyn and he immediately felt comfortable in their school building and in the classroom, he greeted everyone and sat down at a desk to stay!>> That's fabulous Sara. I'm so glad to hear Elie is doing so well at Elwyn. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 You can go to the PDE and look for the link to approved private schools and see what is listed. I went over the whole list and found 3 that I thought met Elie's needs. Caphill was still my favorite, but Elie didn't like the shool site at all (vey hilly, uneven terrain) and he paniked big time in their classrooms. But they really want young kids who can grow with them. Melmark was next because of Donna's recommendation. the week I approached them they were not admitting more PA subsidized kids. (Since rescinded). We took Elie to Elwyn and he immediately felt comfortable in their school building and in the classroom, he greeted everyone and sat down at a desk to stay! So we are at Elwyn. Depending on your child's functioning leel there are a ouple of other places where my son would not be welcome because his functional level is too low. Look at the list and make some calls very early . Unlike Donna, I never expected to want to move Elie, but when the school district SUGGESTED it, I was ready to go.

Lucille >> Lucille, Go to http://www.cas.psu.edu/docs/pde/specialed/aps/seapsdir.pdf for a list of PA approved private schools. It is a pdf file, so you'll need acrobat to read it. If you don't have acrobat, you can download it from Joan's Disability Solutions site. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
