Guest guest Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hi Virginia, so happy to see your post I greatly apprecited reading your sincere opinion. Wow, that's great, too! that your son will attend this school. I asked the question, not so much because I doubted the program, but also because I will be putting my 5 year old to a longer commute, from Sunrise to Pemb Pines area. I will be taking him on my way to work every morning. SO as you can imagine, this is a big decision. But since it's for the improvement of my son's speech/language, then I will go to the moon if I must Again, Virginia thanks for the encouraging email ...as this reassures that I am giving this program a shot and my son's abilities would lie also in the high-functioning, since he has no severe behaviors, only echoes and such language processing problems, more than anything. I look forward to continuing exchanging helpful info with you and other parents on this great site. bye for now....

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Morning Jeannette: My only experience from the Broward county schools so far... has been my son attended when he was 4 he was in the P.L.A.C.E. classroom at Nob Hill Elementary. Although I feel he made some progress, he was too distracted (in his own world) so the teacher would have to constantly redirect him. The PLACE teacher there was very experienced and knowledgabe in the program. Wonderful lady. Thanks to her she observed, documented,and eventually formally requested that my son needed more help. More geared towards engaging a child on the Autism spectrum (High functioning). But, I will definitely let you know how it goes, since he starts kindergarten in August at Pembroke Pines Charter Elementary - (Autism program).
