Anyone familiar with special education in the Paramus school district? (special needs, teaching)

[designerdreams]

Mainly wondering if it has inclusion and if so, which elementary schools have it?

Pretty sure all public schools have some form of inclusion. But it depends on the level of special needs of the child. And although all schools do have a program, some schools are better than others. I'd call the school to discuss your needs and what they can accommodate.

My son has high functioning ASD. I'd like him to get into a program where there is co-teaching. Unfortunately, school is out so I doubt there would be someone there who would really know what the district offers.

Administrators work 12 months. I would see if the Guidance department is available to discuss this with you, or at least call the Principal or Vice Principal.

Here is a link to all the public schools in the state with contacts and phone numbers.
