[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public school is not going to offer anything. Child has [b]ADHD and dyspraxia[/b] but school will not offer services for speech or for fine motor b/c they claim not delayed enough. Child also needs a ton of [b]bevahioral support[/b] and would not be able to handle a big class. There are no small classes available in the school district. I could fight them but it would likely cost about the same as tuition at least for this year. [/quote]

I would also consider Ivymount's  Multiple Needs Program.  It will be more expensive than either school you mentioned, but it has a much longer school year.[/quote]

Really can't do $68K. Child is not aggressive or an eloper, bur needs redirection and can get silly. [/quote]

Most kids at Ivymount aren't aggressive.  Also most kids in the MLN program aren't elopers.  (Shave off about $20K from what you quoted as the cost--that's for a child who would need a one on one aide.)[/quote]

OP should go tour the Multiple Needs Program.  From his description, his child does not sound severe enough for a SNs school which is the most restricted environment and too young.  I am not familiar with the MNP at Ivymount but I know the Model Asperger's Program at Ivymount does not have many K students - they may have 1 kid who is under third grade so there will not be same age peers for a child in K to interact with.

Have you checked out the Lourie center or Maddux?  What kind of school does your DC attend now for preschool?[/quote]
