Can anybody tell me about the quality of special education for children with autism in New Jersey?

Question

We live in the Bronx and are considering moving to the commutable (PATH) areas of Jersey to get a little more bang for the buck rent wise, but we have a daughter with autism and we have to know that she'll be well educated.

Also, anything you can tell us about the neighborhoods the PATH goes to would be really helpful. Thanks.

Answer 1

some schools are great -others leave a lot to be desired

go to www.njcosac.org

somewhere there is a publication that has a list of various schools-both public and private

I don't know of the repuattions of the schools near the Path

but the district can bus to a school-even up to an hour a way

is there a method taht works for your child-

ABA

GReenspan

Miller

Son Rise

Ecclectic

PCDI comes highly recommended-gthere is a type of satellilte school in Bergen County -also Douglas at Rutgers and Eden near Princeton (all ABA)

Montclair University has a good GreenSpan program with a waiting list-

many towns have programs in disctrict..

this site list schools (public and private) throughout the state
