Maryland schools tailor teaching to kids with Asperger’s
June 16th, 2008
From the Washington Post:
Several schools in suburban Washington’s Montgomery County have programs for children with Asperger’s syndrome. They focus on teaching students to recognize and cope with their symptoms, as well as including them into general education classes to the greatest extent appropriate.
The Montgomery County program is one of only a handful at public schools across the country. Before her son entered it, one mother said, “I couldn’t see my child as anything. I couldn’t imagine him having a normal life. And now, my child has a personality. He’s funny. I can see him as an engineer. I can see him as an architect. I can see his life.”
