Are you sure you want a class with all students having autism? I would be

very concerned about role modeling.

Re:Autism Class

>I know there are a lot of the larger school districts that have special

Autism classes after the PPCD class but is there anyone who is familiar with

whether or not any rural school districts or Co-ops have these classes and

if so which ones?<

We are in a rural coop in ville and they have a " Self Contained "

classroom if that is what you mean. Tristan is there much of the day though

he spends a third of class time in regular ed classes too. It is not an

autism classroom but they work on his IEP goals one on one in there.

I'm not sure about here in Texas, but I just moved from Florida and they had an

all autistic classroom and I loved it because my daughter was with teachers who

knew how to handle her and her meltdowns. Please tell me if you find a school

with an autistic class. Thankyou

The class I am referring takes place after the PPCDclass. It is a structured

TEACCH class for children with Autism in McKinney. It is the only one I have any

knowledge of, through a parent whose son attends that particular one.
