“Because of my autism, previous schools that I attended isolated me from others in the classroom and worked to keep me under control, and I suffered for it,” said Robert Christopher, a senior at Tapestry Public Charter School. “Tapestry’s approach is the opposite, focusing on integration into the classroom and providing me with the support I need to thrive. In part, because of Tapestry, I have now been accepted to Georgia Tech, and I’m of the opinion that I would not have had the chance had I been placed into a traditional middle/high school.”
