It sounds like you already have your bases covered. Does your school district have a special needs preschool teacher certified in any of the Autistic-spectrum teaching methods? Is she attending it? Your IFSP should include the therapies you mentioned, plus social instruction programming (at a preschool), plus a social worker helping you access local and state resources.\n\nRight now, you should be shopping carefully and laying the groundwork for her kindergarten enterance. Does your district centralize their Autistic instruction at one of the elementary schools, or will they be expecting your neighborhood school's special ed teachers to take her?\n\nEither is fine, but if she will be going to the neighborhood school, you need to meet with the teacher(s) who will be working with her year after next. Find out if they currently have Autistic program training, prior experience with Autistics, familiarity with Autistic programs even if not currently trained... If not, you're giving them an alert that going to those conferences and doing some homework might be a good thing during the next year. They are (or should be) professional enough to prepare themselves for your daughter's arrival.\n\nIf you feel uncomfortable about the special ed kindergarten teacher's abilities at your local school after meeting with him/her, ask to observe the programs he/she is currently running.  If it still doesn't feel right, or the teacher is hostile to your questions about their training/experience, don't hesitate. Get hooked up with your local or state parent's advocacy group and let them know your concerns. They may know more about that teacher and his/her history. They will either reassure you about giving the teacher a chance, or they will come in with you to the district to arrange for a different teacher for your daughter.\n\nIf you can start her off right in kindergarten, with a good teacher and a good program, she stands a good chance of doing extrememly well by the time she reaches high school. My husband is a Drama teacher for 8th and 9th graders, and he has had a high-functioning autistic in his program for two years, with great results (his second in 10 years of teaching). Both kids were taking all regular ed classes, with continued therapies and a special ed teacher providing inclusion support.\n\nHang in there!

you seem a bit unsure of what a waldorf school is, you should look it up.  I wish there were one around here.

Yes, but there is an increased risk of their child also having Down Syndrome. Sometimes very mentally retarded people are sterile though, so if this is a question pertaining to a certian someone you know, they'd need to get a check up to find out for SURE.

I doubt it. Most countries are less tolerant of special needs kids than the United States, and even in the US there are lots of court cases attempting to define who should and who should not be allowed into an inclusion setting.

I am sorry to hear about that. I am personally not familiar with schools that cater to children with learning disablilties; I have only heard of one, called The Shriram School but I don't know much about it. There is however, this website that may help. It has a list of schools in the Delhi area that you can look into and see if they are suitable for your brothers.\n\nHope this helps and all the best.

Go to the parent's organization at the large international schools (Patina, ISB=International School of Bangkok....) There are usually parents with free time who like to help in the local schools.\n\nGood luck!

You want studies about parental involvement in transition of people with Downs Syndrome in Phillipine or Asian settings?\n\nWow, that's a little narrow, in my opinion! You might consider expanding your search criteria.

Here is a bit of detail from Wikipedia.  Perhaps you could contact one of the schools that is listed in the link at the bottom?  Good Luck!
