[quote=Anonymous]Some of these responses are very odd.  This is a perfectly good question.

I have a DS at McLean but have no direct experience with CA.  McLean is a mainstream school that is open to kids with minor learning differences.  Its population is basically kids who are right on the cusp of a fully mainstream school but still need some supports.  It is highly individualized -- they really seem to try to figure out what each kid needs to learn.  Its very structured and they don't tolerate behavior problems.  The downsides are that its so small that they don;t offer a lot of activities that other schools can and I think the curriculum, while accessible, is pretty boring.  I am grateful for McLean and what it has given my DS but I don't think we will be there all the way through 12th grade.  For the kids for whom its a fit, its a great fit.

My sense of CA is that it is further toward the end of a special ed school.  Hopefully someone with more direct experience can chime in,[/quote]
