Great story coming out of Ann Arbor, MI today about the state's first private high school for children with high-functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome. AnnArbor.com: Ann Arbor educator starting Michigan's first high school for students with autism, Asperger's. According to its Web site, the school -- Veritas Christi High School -- teaches students through an "individualized program of study" with the standard math, science, social studies, and English classes. In addition, students have the option of taking electives, such as "ethics and emotional intelligence."
Side note: In my Jan. 13 post about states that provide out-of-pocket cost assistance for low-income families, Michgan was listed as 44 out 51. Of course, a private high school comes at a significant cost, so can this be viewed a progress?
