  4. There is one last option of home schooling for special children. There you will assistance from the therapists who can support in all possible ways.

Tips on choosing Best School for Your Child

Try for the answers of the following questions while selecting the school for your child.

  • Have you selected the goals for your child education?
  • What should be reflected in your child education and school needs?
  • Does the school understands the person with autism and they are ready to tailor the education pattern for these special cases?
  • Do the school have any special arrangements for the kids with Autism?
  • Sometimes, the schools are not looking to accommodate the kids with special needs. Ask whether the school is willing to make accommodations for your child?
  • Will the child get enough attention in the school?
  • So the school has a anti-bullying policy and it is strictly adhered in the school by all the teachers, students and the head?
