A little about James' school:
In the fall of 2001, the LearningSpring Foundation opened its first program, the LearningSpring Elementary School, now the LearningSpring School (LSS), a model school that was conceived, built, and staffed to educate children with ASD. LSS celebrates the fact that its children are bright, but understands that they have social-communication, sensory-motor, organizational, and processing deficits. Thus, the underlying model for LSS is quite different from other schools. Where most schools focus almost exclusively on academic performance, LSS’s curriculum is equally divided between Social/Emotional, Speech/Language, Sensory/Motor, and Academics. LSS realizes that for its children, academic performance does not necessarily lead to success in life. LSS builds into its curriculum important life skills that are often compromised in children with ASD and taken for granted in a mainstream environment. The LearningSpring School contends that there is no inherent reason why children with Autism Spectrum Disorders cannot graduate from high school, go on to college, and grow up to have independent, healthy, happy and fulfilling lives. Jamesy absolutely loves LSS!
