[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:10 I honestly, don't know the rhyme or reason to how things work out.  Our DD (has developmental delays not ASD) was at RH and it was a disaster.  A woman I know whose daughter (probably ASD but I'm not sure) went there the next year and they bent over backwards for her.[/quote]

You mention that a (probably) ASD child got better services than your DD child at Rosemary Hills -- I wonder if this is because RH has an autism program and so they are probably better informed/equipped to deal with this.   [/quote]

My kid had an IEP.  The school staff was unhelpful, and the school psychologist a nightmare.  The woman I know whose DD went there the next year was not in the autism program but in the regular school as was my kid.  (The autism program is completely separate and very different, e.g., many of the kids are nonverbal, still wear diapers.)  I don't know what the exact nature of her LDs were, probably aspbergers, but that is a guess.  The school went so far as to place her in a classroom with someone she knew and her teacher seemed to have a much better understanding of a SN kid than ours did.  So from what I experienced it was a major negative; we went the private route.  But others I know had a more positive experience.  So I say again no rhyme or reason to how it works out.  22:02, you wrote pretty much in the 3rd person, do you actually have a kid with an IEP or just a defender of the school?[/quote]
