P.O. Box 2120, Richmond, VA 23218, 804-225-3252, www.doe.virginia.gov Dear Friends, Thought I’d share and maybe save our friends some time. I was trying to find out where my son is on the DD Waiver wait-list, and spent well over 2 hours getting nowhere. I finally got a call back (the next day) from a very helpful woman at VA DMAS. She told me there actually is a general number for all waivers that people can call (and it’s not on the website): 804-225-4222. You will need your child’s DOB, SS# and full name. Best, Denise Pavone-Brooks

In particular, they are looking for at least on 8 year old to fill out their class roster -- I am not sure how many openings there are beyond that one. You can find out more about the school at www.theshireschool.com, including how to contact the school. I have a son at the school and would be happy to talk to anyone who is interested. Just send me an email. I have excerpted from the web site the mission and guiding principles. Some of you will be familiar with RDI -- Relationship Development Intervention, which is one of the philosophies that the Shire School promotes. Mission The Shire School will provide a therapeutic, developmental, multi-sensory education to children with learning, attention-deficit, social and language disabilities. Students will be taught through individually tailored approaches with an emphasis on physical movement and experiential learning. Guiding Principles A Nurturing Environment: The Shire School will provide a safe, loving, environment where students can learn and develop at a healthy pace and where their strengths and weaknesses will be understood and integrated into their educational goals. Academic Integration of Therapeutic Professionals: Speech, occupational and sensory motor therapists/professionals will participate and be relied upon for evaluation and development of student curriculum, working with each teacher, aide, staff, and family. Intimate Class Size: Each class will not exceed six children, with a minimum of one teacher and aide. Movement and Sensory Integration: Each school day will incorporate extensive movement as a means to develop neural pathways through stimulation and experience gained from interaction with the environment. Social and Relationship Development: The principles of Floortime therapy and RDI (Relationship Development Intervention) are integrated into the daily curriculum and will be used for facilitating cognitive and social skills as well as group interaction. On-going consultation: Teachers and staff are partners with parents in the process of educating their children and are committed to a high level of communication and collaboration between the school and families. Thematic Education: Curriculum will be thematic, based on the belief that children learn best when material is presented within a relevant and holistic context. Field Trips: Regularly scheduled trips will provide the students with the opportunity to expand their unit study and learn about the world they live in.
