[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only private SN school who gets funding for that profile is Ivymount MAP.  Go visit before you decide to pursue getting funding.[/quote]

This poster.  We looked at SN schools for a similar child last fall, very high IQ with HFA and ADHD combined type.  The ideal school according to our neuropsychiatrist will have high academic content combined with an integrated social skills curriculum.  Our education advocate told us our options in this area were Ivymount MAP and Auburn.   The school that came closest was Auburn but they don't take publicly funded students.  But we can afford it and would have paid except that the academics while good does not offer a foreign language (neither does Ivymount MAP and their differentiation especially for math wasn't as good).   DS attends an immersion language charter (mandarin) since preschool so he would be giving up the language.

The change in placement would have been solely for behavioral issues but after a FBA and behavioral plan, all problems resolved.  It is difficult for SN schools to offer the same amount/level of academics as mainstream schools while providing the same integrated social supports.[/quote]
