Younger son had a ball with it, and worked on his dad until he got the software installed on a home computer too. Now I’m almost sorry that he didn’t go to Claremont (our second choice school) because he would have been fascinated by their animation program.

I hope Skyline has something going, too. When we met the incoming freshmen families for the ASIP program (older son’s Aspergers/autism inclusion program) one of the new boys was *very* interested in film-making and animation, and our son was suggested by the inclusion teacher for doing voice-work for this budding film-maker. Getting the kids to collaborate is difficult, but so rewarding for everyone when it happens. It would seem like a great fit with the school’s drama department too.
