message from NYC.
I got the message from our PTA forum.
Good for mom with Grade 5th and above to know.

For all parents who don't know about the Center For Talented Youth, here is the website:

http://cty.jhu.edu/

The Johns Hopkins program changes in 7th grade, so I encourage parents of kids in 6th grade to consider signing their children up to take the JHU CTY test. My kids became members at 5th grade and 7th grade; it is well worth the effort in registering your child to take the test, which you can do independent of NEST's recommendation!

The summer programs are terrific, and the college information sessions are also worth looking at once your child is accepted.

If you need any other information, please call me.

korg,

it depends on how serious is yr son's autism.
i also hv a friend whose son also is autistic in HK. i suggested herto come to US as her profession can help her to get a greed card veryeasily. however, she chose not to come. her son's been in regularpublic elementary school in HK and been doing fine. however, her son'scase is very mild, his IQ is ok and especially good in math.

i also know someone whose son's autism is extremely serious. he's 5and not even able to say anything. i don't know what school he's goingnow.

anyway, i know there's usually at least a special class at most publicelementary school which takes all the kids with special needs (autismshould be one of them). i assume the class size should be very smalland is taught by teachers with special need training. also, speechtherapy is available at most public schools. tuition is completely freein public school.
u'll need to check with your school district to see if they have that kind of special classes available.
public schools in US always emphasize "no child left behind".
however, most private schools don't have such kind of special classes.

thank you SY mom.

my son is 2.5 yrs old, he can speak a lot of english (single) words. he likes english & numbers very much. now is still young to check his IQ. the doctor didn't give him special school service, just some early training programe which need to wait for almost one year.

in hk, all private trainning are very expensive, and the government support is not enough.

we are green card holder, i'm thinking to take my son to san francisco...

可以再比少少料你. 係nyc, 小朋友過左26個, 係唔可以申請EI Program,要直接去CPSE program, 而呢個program就會要差唔多5個月既申請時間, 所以你都係盡早決定啦.

I have a friend with an autistic child. They found out their son was autistic when he was 2 or 3 years old. He was very aggressive, and didn't know how to express himself with words. M friend told me that he even hurt himself because he could get the feeling/thought across.

They immediately went to the UCSF autistic research team that help them a lot. In addition, the apply for special education service through the public school system. I had to interview the parents at that time, when we chat, their child was a 1st grader in a normal inclusion class with general class.

If my child move to San Francisco Bay area at 10 years old, is it too late to move there at that age? I am afraid there is no vacancy when he is P6. I am also afraid he cannot enter into a good middle school because he's English is not as good as the local students. Please advise. Thanks.

ewater,

are u talking about public schools or private schools?
for public schools, as long as u live within the school district, your kids will be able to get into your neighborhood school (no tests needed). if no spaces available at your neighborhood school, they'll temporarily assign the kid to the next closest public school within the district.

don't know which area you're planning to live. if it's in S.F., usually ESL (english as a second language) classes are offered at the public schools as there are lots of immigrants there. however, most public schools in S.F. are so-so. Only the Lowell high (grade 9-12) is the best, but you have to pass the entrance exam in order to get in.

good luck!
