Best schools and services for Aspergers child (live in, to move)

[shadow42]

My son was just diagnosed with a mild form of aspergers. We currently live in socal and know what is available as far as services but wondering if it will be as good in CO. Does anyone with an aspergers child have experience with the schools and any other type of intervention programs? Pls advise as we will have to make a decision on whether to move our family. Thanks.

I also have a special needs child and was hooked up with the parent to parent organization here in Colorado. Google them and get connected - a very valuable resource!

I saw that Creekside Middle school actually has an autism program- I do not know anything about though.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, the schools do not train their teachers or para in ABA and will not always hire a para for your child- making it a 1:1 ratio, which is what it should be. Good luck!!

Just learned this week that D49 is also working on their autism program. The one in D49 will have 11 kids and 5 para's- working on getting one more para. The teacher is doing her very best to get as much training, education, help etc for the para's in the room. Sorry I do not know much more on it-- but good luck!
