Comments and Notes:
2009-10-25 wonderful? closing of The Turning Point School
I have a son who is developmentally delayed, has A.D.H.D., O.P.D. and epilepsy. With no where to turn, with finding a GOOD education, we tried out The Turning Point. My son was there for one year, I don't know why we stayed that long. The director was to say the least unfriendly,never smiled ever. The place was like a boot camp for "special" children. Instead of being supported, my son was reprimanded for anything and everything. One example of our BAD experience: The class my son was in had been given a snack, when finish with his my son was licking his hands. My son was tramatised when his "teacher" told him "that's gross". I am not a teacher but have had alot of experience with children both disabled and "typical". Upon hearing of the incident I asked the teacher and the director why the teacher did not simply ask him to go wash his hands. The experience at The Turning Point was worse than the public school system. Surprisingly enough the public shools have been more excepting of my son and his sometimes odd behaviors. He was at the Principals office everyday at Turning Point, he has never been to see a Principal in the schools he has attended since. To think I paid $500.00 a month for them to emotionally abuse my son makes me sick to my stomach. I have to say we are not so sorry to see the school go. Now these parents may realize there are other options that are free of charge and free of abuse. --guest
