[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why you'd want to shoe-horn a kid into a school where they won't be a fit. There are other programs that specialize in ASD. I have heard that Lab doesn't teach social skills and doesn't teach pragmatics, maybe that's why they don't want to take kids on the spectrum.[/quote] Agree and the programs that serve kids with Asperger's do not provide supports and/or remediation for language based learning disabilities which Lab does because most kids with Asperger's do not have this issue. All the public school programs and private schools that are for Asperger's want the kids to be at or above grade level academically. Of course, this begs the question where do you send a child who needs social skills and pragmatic speech support who also has language based learning disabilities. I guess these kids would be diagnosed as having ADHD and sent to Lab.[/quote]
