I have a Diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome and I went to a special school called Hillingdon Manor. It's an Inderpendent special school which was set up by a group of parents looking for a school for their children. It's been going for quite a few years now and they're always looking for staff. I'd suggest contacting them, I don't have their number so either search for it online or if you can't find it e-mail me at: Morpheusy2k4@hotmail.com Good Luck ;-)

Hello! Here are the top 5 elementary schools in that area, ranked by 2006 Academic Performance Index (API) score:\n\n1. Sage Canyon Elem. School (Del Mar) - 966\n2. Ashley Falls Elem. School (Del Mar) - 958\n3. Carmel Creek Elem. School (Solana Beach) - 956\n4. Solana Pacific Elem. School (Solana Beach) - 954\n5. Torrey Hills Elem. School (Del Mar) - 952\n\nNote that the statewide performance target is 800, so all of these schools are doing considerably better than the average. API ranges from 200 to 1000, based on statewide test scores, so these schools are doing very well indeed.\n\nI would suggest relocating to Del Mar since the top two elementary schools by API are located in the Del Mar school district. I would also suggest Del Mar since the Sage Canyon school district overall (including middle and high schools) is the best-performing school district in that area. That's something important to consider for when your children move on to middle school or high school. However, if you like Solana Beach, the difference in test scores between the Solana Beach and Del Mar school districts isn't that large. Either way, your children will be getting a great education. Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Carmel Valley all have excellent schools, better than the ones further south on San Diego's coast to Pacific Beach. \n\nGood luck with your move!

go to the asd website to assess the schools in the valley. i would also contact the pta for the school to find out the good and the "what needs changing" for the school. \n\nyou know your child and what they are capable of dealing with but...\n\ni have heard concerning things about raub and trexler and know people that are putting their homes on the market to move their children out of the district in time for them to avoid these schools.\n\nmy children are too young yet..but it is a concern.\n\neither get involved or get out i guess.

I raised TWO Disabled children as a single parent (and yes, one of my children was Asperger's Syndrome -- High Functioning Autism).\n\nMy own suggestions are this:  Have you tried Scouting Activities -- you know -- Boy Scouts, does he participate in after school groups or activities, and even how about JROTC At his High School?\n\nJust because someone has a disability -- do NOT overlook the current programs that their non-disabled peers enjoy in the High School -- because they CAN and DO participate in these programs.  My own children did the JROTC programs, the Team Sports, the Scouting, etc -- and now that they are adults -- they have fond memories of every program that they participated in -- and this includes horseback riding, rifle/shotgun shooting, fencing clubs, scouting camps, etc.

I couldn't find much on private preschools in your area. The links are below. However, I would really recommend you look at the public school preschool programming for special needs.\nLook at this site: http://sped.ocde.us/CC_ap.asp?menu=cc \n\nFirst of all, I would NOT recommend Head/Early Start for a preschooler with special needs. The teachers are NOT specifically trained for special needs, and those preschools focus heavily on socialization and a pre-packaged curriculum and instruction for the "regular" kids. They focus more on social/income disadvantages rather than physiological. While certainly you want your son to build the skills to function comfortably in the regular ed environment, throwing him in the deep end at the age of 3 or 4 will most likely end up in him drowning.\n\nYou SHOULD let you public school district know about your son (if you haven't already)... and enroll him there. Those teachers ARE trained to help your son. Plus, he will have immediate access to therapies he would not necessarily get in a private preschool, such as Occupational Therapy (especially for Sensory Integration), Speech-Language, etc. Just be sure that when you all sit down to write the IFSP (the individual plan used to help your son), you insist that his teacher(s) have prior background and training to work with autistics, and in-service training to ensure the program is current and up-to-date. It looks from your district's webiste that they do. Once you have an IFSP (when your child turns 5, it becomes an IEP) that outlines programming, goals, therapies, and teacher training specific to your child's needs, hold your district to it closely. If you have a reputation with the administrators in your school district as being someone who knows her child's rights, are vocal about them, and are willing to put the time and energy into making their lives miserable until they abide by them.... then they will provide correct support to the teachers so that they can do their jobs effectively. \n\nGetting him into the public schools' special needs Preschools program also acts as a "heads-up" to your local elementary school, so that they can already start looking for the staff (if not already there) and/or provide in-service training for existing staff, to prepare for a child with autistic-type needs on-campus. The school social worker will also help you link up with available community supports quickly (for instance, you'd be asking the SW a question like this, rather than a bunch of strangers on the internet...lol).\n\nIf you want a program run privately, here are a couple of  possibles... but I don't know their real level of quality in their programming. I would recommend touring facilities, interviewing staff, observing programming in progress, etc. Also, if you can manage it, talk to parents who had their kids in the program you are interested in, a few years ago (not currently). Now that their child is older, do they feel the program was of benefit?\n\nhttp://www.pyramidautismcenter.com/\n\nhttp://www.theracare.com/services.asp\n\n\nHere's your public school link about their services:\nhttp://sped.ocde.us/CC_ap.asp?menu=cc\n\nAnd here's one example of inclusive, supported programming they provide:\nhttp://sped.ocde.us/SS_rsc.asp?menu=ocde_ss ... look at Reilly

I know that San Dieguito River Park in north county san diego is doing some astronomy events. \nhttp://www.sdrp.org\nhttp://www.sdrp.org/activities.htm and scroll down for Stargazing in San Pasqual valley. They are really nice people at SDRP.\n\nalso, the Palomar observatory is also in North county, and they sometimes have star parties up at the campground.  It is really cool because they bring out a bunch of really big telescopes and point them at binary starts and neat stuff and let people look. \nhttp://www.astro.caltech.edu/palomar/\n\nOh, here is the San Diego Astronomy Association's site\nhttp://www.sdaa.org/\nand astronmy white pages\nhttp://whitepages.amsky.com/\n\n;)

Check out Sahuarita. It's about 20 miles south of Tucson. They are supposed to have outstanding schools. I don't have children in that school system, but I've heard such good things about it. My husband is a retired teacher and does some tutoring and he's heard good things about it, too. Good luck.

Check and see if your community has an Easter Seals program. I am a TSS in Pennsylvania who accompanies children with autism to such activities. Most of the social activities we attend are sponsored by Easter Seals. Some communities also have summer camps for children with Autism and children with special needs. In Pennsylvania, the social activities in my area range from Therapeutic Horseback riding, bowling gymnastics, Swimming, Boche Ball just to name a few. You can also check with your local ASA chapter and see what suggestions they might have. GOOD LUCK!!
