Hey all!!

Anyone out there that would be willing to throw me some info and opinions on which areas and school districts are best for autism in or near Buffalo? We are a family of 4. Dad, mom (both work) and 2 boys. Our eldest boy is 9 and on the moderate to lower-functioning end of the Autism Spectrum and ADHD. Broad, I know. But any info is helpful!! Throw it all at me! Thanks a bunch!

Hopefully someone will chime in with something specific, but this thread can give you some ideas in other parts of the state: //www.city-data.com/forum/new-y...-services.html

I have no firsthand knowledge, but here are some resources in the area that may be able to help you find out more:

The Summit Center
City Honors STARS Program
Autism Society of WNY

Just curious, but I did mention information on another thread in another C-D forum. Is this just to see what options are available in other parts of the state?

Due to knowing about Autism based programs through BOCES in the Syracuse area, I checked out to see if Erie County has a BOCES program similar to the SKATE program in the Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES. If you go to page 23 of this Erie 1 BOCES Special Education information, West Seneca West Elementary in the West Seneca SD has a 6:1:1 classroom program: https://www.e1b.org/en/k-12-educatio...2022_PROOF.pdf

https://data.nysed.gov/profile.php?instid=800000051935


West Seneca is located adjacent to Buffalo to the SE. From the information available, it appears to be a generally solid SD: https://data.nysed.gov/enrollment.ph...d=800000051957

https://data.nysed.gov/profile.php?instid=800000051957 (has 2 HS’s which likely have higher rates)

https://data.nysed.gov/profile.php?instid=800000051933

East HS: https://data.nysed.gov/essa.php?inst...te=1&feddata=1

West HS: https://data.nysed.gov/profile.php?instid=800000051950
https://data.nysed.gov/essa.php?inst...te=1&feddata=1

So, this appears to be a school district in the area to look into.
