Have any of you had kids that graduated with this designation rather than a traditional HS Diploma? If so, what is your child doing now? Job? Further education?
We may be heading down this path with our DS (12) who has autism. He is moderately affected overall...he has many very high functioning areas and a few areas where he is very low functioning (socially, communicatively--spoken and written, and emotionally). He is 50/50 mainstream and special ed classes, but he is VERY far behind in reading comprehension and written expression (about 4 grade levels behind). He is super good in math and science and his elective classes (computers and technology). At this point, it seems unlikely that he could complete the district English and History requirements without modifications to the curriculum.
So what can he do with a CoC? Can he get a job? Can he try for a GED? I feel so sad because he is SO bright and capable in so many areas...is there any hope for an independent future without a HS diploma?
