Schooling a child with Asperger's in Vancouver

Re: Schooling a child with Asperger's in Vancouver
I have a friend with a child with learning difficulties who ended up sending him to a private school. It's called Gordon something.
ANyway, the public school flat out told her they could not help her with her child's needs due to funding cuts. Nearly all the school districts are in debt; jobs etc. Special education funding was cut by the province a while ago, and families like my friend's are having to find the money to send their kids private.
All school districts are different, so your best bet is to figure out where you're going to live and talk to people in that school district.
