Program Teaches Journalism To Children With Asperger Syndrome

PBS News Hour covered a story about their own tradecraft. News has an agenda in Worrall Elementary School, where reporters with Asperger's syndrome are routinely pulled from their classrooms to learn the basics of journalism. Their teachers say producing a newscast is one of the best ways for their students to learn how to speak clearly, work together, build confidence ... and become school celebrities all at the same time. This appears to be the first program of its kind in the country. What do you think about such a program? Would it be helpful? Would you request that your school start such a program? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
