Choosing a school for your child is one of the
prime decisions that you make for them. It shapes their future and marks a new
beginning of their life towards providing for themselves. This decision becomes
more difficult when it comes to specially abled students. Parents have to make
a hard choice of choosing between varieties of options available.
I had to make a similar decision for my child a
few years ago. I was torn between the options available in front of me and was
scared of making the wrong choice. My child suffers from autism and had an anti
social outlook towards people in general. I was devastated to discover this at
first. But my husband told me about these schooling options that were
specialized in handling specially abled children. The fact that the success
rate of such schools is really high gave the kind of solace that I was looking
for with respect to my child’s future.
I started by browsing all the options in my
city and learnt that the special education schools were categorized between a
private special education school and a public school. It was now time to create
a pros and cons chart for both so that we could make a smart and informed
decision.
The private special education schools won over
the public one on a number of accounts. It was close enough for me to walk down
to school in case of an unforeseen emergency. The services offered for autistic
children in private special education school of my choice was far better than
the ones offered in a public one. Moreover, They also had dedicated therapists
for children with autism to provide the best in class therapy sessions that
help in fighting the anti social behavior.
This school also worked on the principle of
individualized education program. This program helped in making the schedule
and learning sessions keeping in mind the interests of individual child. My
child was given undivided attention by the teacher and he ultimately learnt to
be social with the other kid of his age group.
