Thanks...I will definitely look into the Lourie Center.  I see on their webpage they are focused on social and emotional wellness but how are they academically.  DS is intelligent but it is very focused on what he likes.  At three, memorized hundreds of different types of ocean animals; at 5 he got into dinosaurs and learned everything about them.  During class last week, the students in DS's class was asked to name things that started with each letter of the alphabet and for T, one child said Pteranodon; DS turned to us and said Pteranodon starts with a P.  He puts together large Jurassic World lego sets almost all by himself.  However, like many kids with autism, he will only focus on learning and talking about things he likes.  Given that DS is capable of learning and exceling academically, I don't want him to be placed in a program that can't support him reaching his academic potential.[/quote]
