If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything.

That's us. Didn't work for us, but others have had a good experience.

It is really one of those schools that you have to go see to determine if it is right. Looks like a great place but wasn't right for my son (he never attended - just based on my visit).

Any parents who actually had a child attend weigh in?

We've had a great experience with Diener- our first year. DS is happy, engaged and learning a ton. The new head is wonderful and the teachers are extremely attentive and involved. Not sure what kind of questions you have or what to address in terms of past posters concerns. I will say that when we were going through the school search we found it hard to draw conclusions from other people's experiences or from the *type* of student a particular school is known for - the population of these school is so small and seems to change depending on the year. Our DS is academically on track and has benefited from the calmer environment with OT and ST pushed into the classroom and of course the small class size. Good luck!

They have a camp. You could always test-drive it that way.

My son is in his second year at Diener and it has proven to be a great fit for him. The school is not for everyone and I highly that you (and your child) visit the school to see if its the fit for your child. The administration will put you in touch with other parents to discuss their experiences and based on our experience, those that we spoke with were very open about what worked and didn't work for their child.
