We include children with autism in our regular full-day program in Thomas County, Georgia. We use the High/Scope curriculum, and the children receive inclusion support in their regular classroom for specified periods of time.

I work in a public school and we have a program for our children with autism which utilizes ABA techniques within the full day with the student attending the preschool program and receiving one on one specialized programs the other half of the day. I would be interested how others address this particular special need. Beverly in Massachusetts, USA
