[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean has it as part of the curriculum in the lower school.

I know of a socially awkward child who had a terrible time at Lowell.[/quote]
Really? Would you mind sharing a bit of their experience at Lowell, if you know details, and when this was? Also how old were they , please.[/quote]

A child who had to leave because of social problems and the school was not helpful.  I don't want to identify.

As the mother of a child with AS I can tell you that there's a difference between schools that are progressive and tolerant and schools that have a social curriculum.  Many of you love your DC's schools and thats great.  You may find it a very inclusive, nurturing environment.  But that is not the same thing as a school that actively works on pragmatics and social skills as part of its curriculum.  And children who benefit from that are not necessarily on the spectrum.  So if you are suggesting a school simply because you have a typical child there and it seems like a kind place, you may want to hold off because OP is looking for something more specific.

OP, you might post in the SN section.  Good luck.[/quote]
