I think P.S.176x @ 178 is a great school for families that have autistic children. It has done so much for my child. My child has improved in areas of speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy as well as academically!! They want the parents and guardians of these wonderful children to be a part of their children's/ students curricular education. They put out so much for the students and make the parents and guardians feel very welcome with open arms. This school did wonders to my child that I didn't even know was possible. I recommend this school to anyone with autistic children. You well be amazed by the results and efforts they put in to your child.

My school is one of the best when it comes to implementing and adhering to the needs of the students. The teacher, therapists, coucelors and even the prnicipal and assistant principals get involved in the students' progress and annual goals.

This school is a great place to work in and a great place for students on the spectrum to attend. As an educator at this school we uphold ourselves to high standards given to us by the DOE and our administrators. Our motto "Working Together" defines who we are. I run a team approach in my classroom...our team consists of the classroom staff, the students, the related service providers, the parent coordinator, and of course the parents. I love the support 176 has to offer both staff and parents! It's a great place to learn and work in!
