A different kind of preschool (Tip Sheet Thursday)

Here's a tip on a unique preschool class. Kennedy Krieger Institute is looking for 3- to 4-year-olds who are developing typically to take part in an integrated class with children who have autism spectrum disorders.

There will be 8 children in the class, says the institute (5 children with autism and 3 typically developing peers) and the class will be run by a master's level special educator and two teacher's assistants. The class will meet from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday at 3901 Greenspring Ave. The class starts Monday (and ends July 31), but I'm told there's still time for families to volunteer to participate.

I'm told there will be a "minimal cost"; if you're interested, call Marguerite Adams at 443-923-7585.

Maybe I don't understand standard preeschool, but it looks like Kennedy Keiger has tailored this to exclude families where both parents work fulltime. Maybe it is the sample they are seeking.
