Rick, if I recall correctly, Deborah has done the AG Bell convention route. She's found it helpful, but not really all that great social wise. I have to say that I really do think that virtually ALL kids with disabilites need to be informed of other schooling options around jr high/middle school. Even kids without disabilites can find jr high and high school to be miserable years. That's actually ANOTHER reason why I think that most kids should grow up with a full toolbox philsophy.
Virtually all schools for a particualr disabilty, tend to offer specialized methodologies, that most mainstream schools can't really offer. If a mainstream setting doesn't work out, then they can transfer to the specialized school without a HUGE disruption to learn the specialized techniques.
