Day Boarding
There are many reasons to select a private boarding school for your special need child. Here are some advantages that are unique to these types of schools:
Constant social interaction: Students are always around their peers in class, extracurricular and in their living arrangements. As such, they have many opportunities to be themselves and express their individuality outside of formal class time. This sociability is extremely important for students with special needs, as they may lack confidence or communications skills. Always being with their classmates may make them feel more comfortable than they would in a day school.
Taking care of yourself: Many parents cannot resist pampering their kids or, at least, providing them with an environment in which most things are taken care of. In contrast, at boarding school, children with special needs will learn independence.
Extracurricular activities: After or before school programs are a great way to socialize and to hone a particular skill. Such a well-rounded education is a wonderful way in which to build the confidence of a child with special needs and to make school more enjoyable and less stressful.
