Having high functioning autism means to me that his/her language expression is 'decent' and their social reasoning and skills are not too impaired. You can see already that that type of description can get you in the ballpark, but most likely doesn't do justice to your child's strengths or challenges. One note regarding the testing evaluation report. If you feel solid that the report doesn't paint enough of a clear picture, sells him/her short, then think of other data to bring in at some point (written work, photos, etc.) Best of luck. Sanford Check with them directly. Karen,

I'm not sure if you read what I wrote about the school but http://www.ldresources.org/?p=1203 is the link to it. Go on their web site and give them a call to arrange a visit and see first-hand.

If you have read them already and you're asking which one is most similar to Churchill, I would say you should look at Shelton or Winston in Dallas. They're much different in size but have some overlapping similarities to Churchill. When I was in Texas, due to a freak ice storm I didn't get to see Rawson-Saunders School in Austin and that would be worth looking into as well. sanfordmshapiro@gmail.com Lori, I don’t know if you’ve looked at the write ups I did for Texas schools (there’s four I’ve written about) but if not check them out and get back to me.
