[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 651370, member: 11791"] Welcome back ;) To me, special schools depends on the approach taken by the school system. In school boards we've been associated with, it is either mixed, or a good thing. For example, there is a "special school" where kids who have any number of challenges that are affecting their academic performance (note this isn't behavioural) can go to for one to three years - to learn now to learn, how to work around their own challenges, and catch up with peers. They are expected to return to the mainstream. This approach seems to work fairly well. There are other schools where kids are NOT expected to return to the mainstream. This is fine if there are so many challenges that they can't keep up with peers anyway. Otherwise... I'd be careful. And sometimes, they leave it open-ended. No experience directly with those; word of mouth tends to be that it really depends on how well suited to your kids needs - poor fit usually means they don't progress back to mainstream. Others may have more direct experience. [/QUOTE]
