Are there schools for children with special needs in Vancouver

Hi All,



My Son - who is now 5 years old - does manifest the signs of autism. He still has difficulties to speak and has issues in getting concentrated on one task.

We plan to settle in the area of Vancouver, probably Richmond Burnaby or Coquitlam. I would like to ask: are there schools designed for special needs children in Vancouver (as I have heard that such schools are hard to find there and almost do not exist as they are doing everything at integrating people with needs to the society)?

If so, how much do they cost and are some costs being covered by government help?



Anticipated thanks.

Expect long wait times. Years. The school district will determine if your child qualifies for special education. Most likely your child will end up in a normal classroom based o your brief description.
