[quote=Anonymous]PP I think you're out of line.

I am not OP but I can only imagine how hurtful and disruptive this could be to my own child if she were in this situation. It often takes kids with ASD a while to get used to a new situation and it isn't unusual for us to take take months… yes, months… to talk up a new class and it is very hard to shift gears without a lot of confusion/tears/tantrums.

Obviously Ivymount felt it wasn't going to be a great fit in the end but I think they owed the parent a better explanation. Also, the fact that they told her this happens "occasionally" makes me very uncomfortable. I can imagine a mistake happening once due to a child changing or the fact that all the other kids enrolled have a different type of issue but I think in the latter case they should have explained that to the parent and allowed him/her to decide whether to enroll.

I'm not saying Ivymount made the wrong decision and I don't think the parent who posted about this is either. I think that there's something wrong with HOW they communicated that decision and their policies and the possibility that the acceptance could be rescinded.[/quote]
