Hey there, I work in a special needs school, and have volunteered in another.
There are several around, as others have said, some schools have special needs classes within them, same with highschools/colleges.]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:26:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22617&PID=549438&title=special-needs-schools#549438 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22617&PID=549244&title=special-needs-schools#549244 Author: LizzyJ

If she comes to wellington there are units attached to some of the colleges, I am involved with special olympics so have a fair handle on whats around, If she comes to wellington both Newlands and wellington high have good reputations. I am happy to put her in touch with the special olympics in whatever region she moves to, (boy has to be over 8 to join special olympics)]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:12:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22617&PID=549244&title=special-needs-schools#549244 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22617&PID=549228&title=special-needs-schools#549228 Author: caitlynsmygirl

Heaps, my sister is very special needs and she went to Sommerville special school , (now shes 22 and is at Ambury park)
Before she went to Sommerville she was at Mt Roskill Intermediate in a special class,with a teacher who has remained one of my mums best friends .

A lot of the primary schools have satellite classes as well .
My mum is on here (susie q) might pay to PM her ,she can probably give a lot more info than I can .
Do you have any idea where your friend would be moving to ? because my mum organises special needs support groups etc as well

edited to change it to satellite classes :-)

Heya, yep there's various schools around - what part of NZ is she coming too?

You may find that he might be more suited to a 'satellite class' in a regular school... so they have a special needs class or unit, and the kids still get to take part in bigger school activities.

If she's coming to Aucks I can recommend a few

Oh and yeah - how old is her son?]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:04:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22617&PID=549225&title=special-needs-schools#549225 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22617&PID=549218&title=special-needs-schools#549218 Author: Fairyjuice
