Sally44 Report post Posted February 17, 2010 Some schools are described as ASD specific. Others are schools for communication disorders including ASDs. What is the difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kazzen161 Report post Posted February 17, 2010 I was told that for a speech and language school the primary diffiulty had to be S and L, not ASD. Different S and L schools are different (some have lots of children with AS, so are good at dealing with it), so you would need to visit to find out. One example: the S and L unit I visted insisted that the children spend more than 80% of their time in the mainstream part and they did not supervise the children at break times, whereas an ASD unit would probably be more flexible and understand our children need help at break times. The unit did offer some social skills training, but did not offer life and independence skills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
