Proposed autistic school to be discussed

Sandra W. Plant
Special to the Register

There is not a public school in Kentucky for children with autism and Delma Peercy is hoping to change that. Peercy is a local Realtor whose 8-year old grandson was diagnosed as borderline autistic at the age of 3.

It is Peercy’s dream that Madison County be the site of the first public school for autistic children. To bring this dream to reality, Peercy is hosting a meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday in the large meeting room at Madison Vinyl Windows and Doors at 1204 Berea Road in Richmond, next door to the Home Store and More furniture store.

Special guests at the meeting will be representatives from ViCare, a Louisville firm that provides services for disabilities, including autism.

Peercy invites everyone to the meeting who has an interest in supporting specialized education for children with autism and related sensory problems. She said the Madison County Board of Education estimates there are 600 children in Madison County who suffer from autism and related disorders, so there is definitely a need.

Autism is a brain development disorder that is usually diagnosed in children before the age of 3. Symptoms include impaired social interaction and communication as well as behaviors that are restricted and repetitive

Peercy is hoping that the meeting will be well attended by parents, educators, special education teachers, health care professionals, families and friends of those diagnosed with autism and other related disorders.

For more information, call Delma Peercy at 1-859-661-5117.
