[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 197238, member: 1991"] With our students, once we get to a certain stage, partial attendance is an option for anybody. Of course it means that it takes longer to get through it all, the kids are older when they graduate and they don't get to graduate with all the kids they started with, but sometimes that is an insignificant issue compared to the child's educational, emotional and social needs. difficult child 3 is currently in Year 9. I did know that we had a part-time option (called Pathways) from Year 11, but apparently the partial option could begin as early as next year. Considering how meticulous but slow difficult child 3 is with getting his work done, we may have to take this up. I thought I was fairly well in touch with the schooling options currently, but I'm STILL finding out more. I was talking to the school's Special Education staffer this morning (she rang early, in response to my call to her yesterday about difficult child 3 being slow and this needing to be written into his IEP somewhere) and she told me that ideas and attitudes for autistic kids have done some major shifts here in the last year - in some areas, a complete 180 degree shift. So it really does pay to ask the necessary questions. by the way, this Pathways option for us - it's not just for Distance Ed kids or Special Education kids like difficult child 3, it's for any kid in mainstream too.
