I co-teach with a special education teacher and together we have fifteen students ages 3-5. Five of those students are typically developing and act as positive role models for the other ten students who have Autism. All children are preschool age children and are exposed to the general education curriculum. All the children no matter if they have a disability or not vary from high functioning and high exposure to school academics to low functioning and low exposure to school academics. Our school is primarily for students with special needs and the amazing thing is that typically developing students are the biggest learning tools we have. Children with special needs naturally learn from their peers, and we have seen a great growth in social, physical, emotional, behavioral and cognitive skills. Our school is very diverse in ethnic backgrounds and parent staff communication is held very high. We aim to provide a comforting place for both families and children of all diversities.
