[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stone ridge is for girls and the heights is for boys.  If a child has Down syndrome but can perform at grade level, I don't see why they wouldn't accept them.[/quote]

What? Down syndrome people don’t perform ‘at grade level’.

I wish that SR would start a program for SN. That would be great.
In the meantime look at Holy Cross or Brookewood for girls.
Avalon for boys.[/quote]

Check your facts: "Intellectual and Developmental Symptoms. Cognitive impairment, problems with thinking and learning, is common in people with Down syndrome and usually ranges from mild to moderate. Only rarely is Down syndrome associated with severe cognitive impairment"

Even with mild to moderate ID, I would want a program that is coordinated by special educators with training on the variability of strengths and weaknesses of a kid with DS, whether public or private. The Holy Cross program is a good one.[/quote]
