[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP, here. I love the school, but I know a few kids with HF Aspergers at the school. The students seem to receive pull-out OT and counseling unless they exhibit difficult behavior, in which case there are vigorous attempts to get them placed privately.[/quote]

Uh, no....the only private placement for a kids with asd was at a parent's request (she and i are friends). sped services are delivered inclusively and through pull-out, depending on the iep. like any other school, there have been kids with severe mental health issues and there were issues with whether it was appropriate placement. the sped program is implemented with integrity and the teachers are great, at least in my opinion and the opinion of MANY other sped parents. I do know that one private program actually sent its teachers to observe at YY, because what they were doing was considered to be top of the line best practice.
Remember, each kid is different, and no one school can meet everyone's needs. [/quote]

19:47 I'm glad to hear that so many parents are happy with the services.  I love the teachers and personally like all the SN staff I've had contact with but am concerned b/c everyone is young with little experience.  Our developmental pediatrician and educational consultant have nearly 40 yrs of experience between them dealing with Asperger's so we'll see if we can get a workable IEP that can be successfully implemented.  We'll see how it goes.[/quote]
