The children with Asperger's in our elementary school each had a Title 1 aide who worked with the child one on one. These children also ate in the classroom because the cafeteria was overwhelming to them and they each got to choose one classmate to eat with each day. The school did a good job of educating the kids in the classroom why "Nick" and "Andi" got this special treatment. In fact, "Nick" is in 8th grade now and still has his aide with him. I don't know where he eats in middle school. I haven't heard the kids talk about Andi so I think she may have moved or something.
