CA schools struggling for creative solutions to autism needs
September 30th, 2009From the [Riverside, CA] Press-Enterprise:
Squeezed between the rising needs of students with autism and declining state and federal funds, California educators say they are seeking creative solutions.
Among the ideas they’re trying: Setting up foundations to raise funds; writing grants; and forging partnerships with other districts, parents, and organizations to use successful programs as models rather than developing new programs.
In Riverside County, the school district is paying about $36,000 per student to educate children with severe autism in small classes, compared with about $8,600 for typical students.
