Can anyone here tell me about programs at Carolina Forrest high school? My daughter is in high school in a co teaching program now and we aren't sure if we will be moving before or after she graduates. She has aspergers.....I would love to see some updates on those of you who have posted to this thread a while ago.
We are getting ready to move to Myrtle Beach and I would LOVE any info you can give me on services in the area. I have an autistic 4 yr old. To start, would you recommend any Developmental Pediatricians?
We moved here when my daughter was in middle school, coming from a northern school district that also offered summer programs. To the best of my knowledge, Horry Country doesn't offer such things. They are EXTREMELY tight on money. However, their general special ed classes are awesome. Now, whether your children would benefit, I couldn't tell you as my daughter doesn't have autism.
You could visit the [url=http://www.horrycountyschools.net/]HorryCountySchools[/url] and locate the numbers to call to find out what programs are available. They DO offer speech, and I know they do group every week as well.
The one thing I can say is that I felt the special ed system here was far superior to the one we left in NY. There are many kids getting special services here, and it seems to me that they have a good grasp on how to mainline the kids once they feel they can handle it. Again, this may not fit your situation.
In general I would never advise people to move here looking for a good education. It just isn't possible. However, I was more than pleased with their special education system. The one thing I have to stress...they leave many things not taught, and this will fall heavily on learning at home. If my daughter asks me ONE MORE TIME how many ounces are in a pound, or how many quarts are in a gallon...ugh!!! (didn't we learn that in middle school?!)
While they encourage mainstreaming of most special education students, obviously this doesn't fit "all". As well, they don't always teach things that they may need in their future lives. (see my comment above about gallons!)
Nice.
