(Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - School will give you the cold shoulder if your child has developmental disabilities, unprofessional and insensitive to parents and inappropriate comments made in ear shot of your child !!!! "we have places for children like that in Christina School District"; "This is going to be difficult" a couple of the comments made in front of my nine year old autistic son... He's autistic not stupid he understood what was being said....proceed to this school with caution!!!
