No instance ion a communication system. School uses some alternative, non universal picture system instead of the universal PECS but the staff don't insist that students use it. My child is 11 years old and still pulls me to item he wants or agresses, tantrums. No skill building taught. No focus on ADLs. terrible. One of the worst of the terrible D75 school. Stay away. Aply to Blue Feather if you wan tto see progress. DOE doesn't care about your kids on the spectrum,. EVERY child is left behind.
