Grouping/Scheduling School Issues Article S C H O O L I S S U E S A R T I C L E Georgia is on the right track with its all-day, free prekindergarten program, say parents and educators. Future school reform should include universal prekindergarten nationwide, according to Head Start founder Edward Zigler and U.S. Department of Education Secretary Richard W. Riley. Research has found that quality, early childhood programs make a difference in helping get children ready for school. Although 42 states offer some type of early childhood education, only Georgia offers a free, full-day prekindergarten program for all children. In 1995, Georgia expanded its free, prekindergarten program to include all the state's four-year-olds regardless of family income. At that time, enrollment nearly doubled, jumping to 15,500, said Celeste Osborn, director of the state's Office of School Readiness Today, Georgia's prekindergarten program serves about 63,000 children, about 70 percent of the state's four-year olds, Osborn said. And parents are overwhelmingly happy with it nine out of ten are satisfied. Many say they even spend more time with their children because of the program.

Extractions: A baby is born and everyone is excited. Somehow as time goes along one or more members of the family start feeling that something, maybe, just maybe, something is just not quite right. This sweet baby is not developing, reacting, and maturing quite like other babies the same age. Each family travels that journey down their own particular path. Some wind up and down hills, in and out of tunnels, round and about each and every obstacle that can be found while others take a more direct route ... to where? Some find their journey ends with a diagnosis of high functioning autism (HFA), pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), nonverbal learning disorder (NLD), central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), semantic pragmatic disorder, hyperlexia, executive processing disorder (EPD), or maybe still another diagnosis. This page will attempt to help families, educators, and friends along this journey with some brief descriptions, but mainly links to good resources for clinical information before you get an "official diagnosis" and also some "down-to-earth" information for helping handle those day-to-day issues of living with a special needs child with the characteristics of the above-described disorders. The first lap on this journey involves "what are the identifying issues which might require seeking a professional diagnosis?" Tony Attwood is considered one of the leading authorities when discussing Asperger Syndrome and High Functioning Autism. His website has a wealth of information and his books present even greater in-depth insight into the world of autism. His
