Answer 1

There is no "best school" for all students, disabled or not.  The important issue is to find a school with the right program for the student.  This is often a very difficult and long process.  The testing that has been done may help the school district (or you) determine possible "good matches" for your brother, but it is difficult to be certain.  Other variables exist, like "how far is this school from home?"  All very small but potentially important details that could lead to success or failure.  Your family must choose wisely with the information that they have available to them, and remain vigilant.  If you do not see progress, it's time to find a way to make it happen.

While disabilities may evoke pity, we must remember that people with disabilities are PEOPLE FIRST.  If given the right opportunities and environment, they can defy any odds.  Don't focus on what your brother can't do - focus on what he can do, and WILL do - with your family's support and love.  He is still your brother, no matter what "diagnosis" is placed on him.  I wish you all good luck with your decision.

Answer 2

I can't help you choose a school.  but, I have a son with PDD  (high functioning)and let me tell you,  you may have a hard time accepting him from time to time and that is understandable. The only advice I can give you is to PUSH him  and do not give the attitude that he should just be left alone.  My son is 15 and in 9th grade in regular classes.  He doesn't like to do homework but does it and the most aggravating part is he won' t turn it in.  He would have straight a's if he would turn his work in on time.

Answer 3

When my cousin who has PPD went to school when he was that age he went to the Reece school in Manhattan. It's a private school that the state paid for.  After he grew up and developed more he transfered to the Children's school which is not on Roosevelt island. I've never head of those that you have.  Your parents should go on the computer to the VESID web site and find out which private school that the state will pay for would be best for him.  The ratio of children to teachers at the Reece is about 6:1:1:1 6 children to one classroom teacher to one assistant and one aide. My cousin was really happy with it and she kept her child there until he out grew the school and than I think in the 5 grade she moved him to the children's school and he's been there ever since, He's now in the 11 grade and is doing really well he passed all of his regents last year. ANd so far this year he's doing well also.  Also he's parents are planning on him going to college.  So if you mother doesn't really like any of those schools there are other options.
