[quote=Anonymous]I don't have experience with PEP, and Maddux obviously doesn't work out for everyone.  In particular there's a limit to how much they can handle in terms of disruptive behavior, they may push you to medicate ADHD, and they're not always the best at dealing with academic learning delays.  The administration is stretched too thin and not always responsive.  And so much depends on the cohort and whether your kid "clicks" with the teacher and his or her peers.  But for many of us with smart, reasonably compliant kids with "mild" ASD--kids whose main challenges are social--it was a godsend.  After a couple of years there my son has friends and can make new ones, when he never did or could before.  The whole Ivymount community of which they are a part is as cutting edge as you are going to find on this stuff, really almost anywhere.  And the parent community was just a wonderful group of people.  If it's going to be a big sacrifice financially I agree with PPs that you need to think hard about when that money will be best spent.  But if not, I think the majority experience at Maddux is very positive.  But of course, as always, your mileage may vary...[/quote]
