[quote=Anonymous]I don't know much about ASD and I don't have a kid at BASIS, but I have kids at 2 other different middle schools, and several of their close friends are at BASIS. My hunch (please take it for what it's) is that it depends more on your kid's personality than on executive functioning ability. IMHO what's more important at BASIS is being able to absorb information some kids might consider boring. The executive functioning bit you can help with, and even if your kid gets bad grades, he'll be absorbing information and getting his education. He will still do well on the tests. If, on the other hand, the fast pace and amount of material aren't for him, it doesn't matter how good his executive function is. My kid is neurotypical but easily bored in the school setting, and so I opted not to go with BASIS. [/quote]
