“I have to say, I really feel that (first) charter school saved my life and my daughter’s life,” Ward-Mitchell, 45, said.
The NYC Autism Charter Schools and Neighborhood Charter Schools – each with campuses in Harlem and the Bronx — have specific Autism Spectrum Disorders programs for kids, according to their websites.
Meanwhile, key aspects of the Neighborhood Charter Schools program involves smaller class sizes, ICT and “social club” — a social skills lesson led by a speech pathologist. Ward-Mitchell said Kimana thrived at learning and taking tests at the district school — but claimed it “ended up kicking her out” because it couldn’t deal with her behavior.
“Parents deserve to have a choice of where they send their child to school, and charter schools give parents that choice,” Ward-Mitchell said.
