Dallas Day School is a good school for non-special needs children. If your child has a special need, specifically Autism, this school is not the best place for them. According to their website they specialize in special needs with Autism being one of the areas. Well this is totally false. They don’t have any teachers there that are specifically trained with special needs. They stick the special needs child in with the other children. Inclusion is good for special needs children, but you shouldn’t put them in a class with non-special needs children and think they will perform the same. The teachers there had no idea what to do with my 3 year old daughter that had Autism. More than a few occasions I came to pick her up and she was strapped into a chair. They finally put her into the pre-k class with 4 and 5 year olds, with a class size of 12-15 and 1 teacher, and expected her to follow instructions. Well if you know anything about Autism, that’s not happening. Children with Autism
