Giving adults with autism the skills to build independent lives

Karen, an assistant principal at East Leyden High School, shadows a 9th grader, Alan Garcia, to understand student experiences. She participates in his classes, including physical education and a double math period. Alan expresses frustration with remedial classes and desires more challenging electives. Karen's observations lead her to reconsider student placement based on test scores. Her evaluation of the school shows a need for improvement in student engagement and relevance, though she praises the school's climate and resources.
