I recently started at a new school that is dedicated to the development of children who are effected with autism. Oakstone academy focuses on incorporate typical and atypical students into one environment. The reason for this is that at Oakstone we believe that, just as typical children learn from their peers, students with autism can and will learn from their typical peers. I firmly believe that Dr. Rebecca Morrison and our other administration have done a phenomenal job because not only can I see first hand the change in some of the atypical students, but I can see the change these kids have on me. My step-mom works at the preschool and has also worked in the school age, and she told me some stories about the kids at Oakstone and these kids sounded great but I never in a million years would have thought they would touch my life the way they did. I was very skeptical before I moved there but now I can't imagine leaving!
In this blog i will write about the everyday life at Oakstone not only from my perspective but also using our atypical students words to help describe our amazing school. This is not a way for me to sell this school to people but a way for people to be more aware about autism on a daily basis. Thank you.
