TIEE has several different programs in San Diego. The one that will probably be the best fit for Calvin is at the Cook Education Center.
There they have classes in very small groups 2-4 kids who work based on ability level for each subject. They rotate from room to room for each subject and work with different kids and adults for each class so that they can work at the appropriate academic level for each subject.
They focus on positive behavior with lots of attention for doing the right thing.
Video games on campus!
Once a week all of the teachers meet to discuss each student. Goals/work, etc can be adjusted.
HW is assigned. For us it would probably start small as we build the habit and then increase to a little bit each day.
extra curricular/clubs: karate, yoga, sports, music, art
Big focus on working towards behavior that will work in the real world, rather than pull out for OT, therapy, etc. which can be difficult to apply in real life.
Research based behavior methods.
Once they receive a packet from the school district they will set up a time to meet Calvin and evaluate him. Then he will do a 1/2 day trial before they decide if they think they have a program that will meet his needs.
Once a month you can go in and watch videos of your kid to see how things are going.
Looks like the school year is 220 days going through july. Many of the schools have summer school as an option but it looks like for this school the school year is extended for all students. This is good, especially since we are starting the school so late in the year.
