[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Auburn has small classes and is focused on HFA kids. Although they don't specialize in LD support, they would be able to be very flexible in curriculum and approach. It may or may not be a perfect fit but is worth a look.[/quote]

my son has both moderate ASD and a language-based disability. We were at Auburn and I can tell you definitively they can not support this profile and (at least in our DS's classroom), they did not modify the curriculum to meet his needs and I don't believe their curriculum specialist is skilled enough to understand how to modify instruction. And no SLP there at all, just an SEL person but that isn't enough. The right teacher there could collaborate with a private provider (maybe?) but that's a lot of money to spend and you still might not get the right support.

Our kid is now back to special ed classroom in public and though he's not really well supported there, we are not paying private school money for something that isn't meeting his needs. For now this plus therapy and tutoring is better than what Auburn can offer.

How old is your child?[/quote]

Sorry I just see that you said 2nd/3rd grade. A lot of SN schools don't have availability right now though I don't know about Auburn. I am not sure Diener has an SLP either but you can check. I can only really speak to Auburn[/quote]
