[quote=Anonymous]We toured and felt it was spectacularly well-run in many ways and really liked the philosophy of mainstreaming the kids as much as possible. The problem is that it is extremely small and selective so you either have to let your kid basically self-destruct in a mainstream environment or hire a really good advocate or attorney to get the placement.

It's expensive as there is tons of individual attention. They say the kids have to be at grade level but most of the kids I saw were working above grade level. There were a lot of little professor-types.

I remember wishing there was a way to expand the program to include more children by making slightly larger classes or allowing parents to provide their own transportation.

You can work with your SN resource teacher to request that someone come to observe your child. It may take a few months but you should get in the queue if your child is struggling.

I met another set of parents while on the tour and, yes, we both have advocates.[/quote]
