[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what school that are half way decent are accepting kids?[/quote]

KKI Powder Mill. We chose another school but I was very impressed with the faculty and program. [/quote]

We are at a different campus but love our KKI school.  Warning though the powder mill campus is TINY like 60 kids. [/quote]

It is, and that's definitely a drawback if you want a bigger atmosphere. The program itself ultimately didn't feel like as good a fit as others, but I loved the school. Great facility, lots of activities for the kids, two full-time nurses, and all the things you expect with a newer building. I would very much encourage people to list it along with KTS and Ivymount.

What kinds of kids are best served at Kki powder mill (similar to ivymount and KTS?)  (also is it similar to their fairmount campus?) thanks![/quote]

My kid attends KKI:PMC and we really like it.  They have awesome activities monthly (festivals, popcorn/movie day, etc) that still allow my kid to be a kid.  I really like how small it is. Every single adult in the school knows my child by name and can always tell me a funny story or a little snippet about my kid.  It’s really amazing.  We feel like dc is making progress and is in good hands. I think they serve kids along the same line at Ivymount - they are built to service kids with autism.  From what I’ve seen at pickup and at activities it seems mild to moderate but I’m not positive about that.  I don’t know anything about Fairmount though. Hopefully someone else can help you there.

Thanks for the info! Are most of the kids at this school placed by Montgomery county (not many Dcps kids?)[/quote]

They're on the DCPS list, so I'm sure there's a few. If you have a kid on the spectrum who also has some other issues like LD or ID, KKI PMC is very much worth your time. All of the schools can manage some medical issues as well, but I was very impressed by the medical staff at KKI. So if your child also has some medical concerns, I think they would be in extremely good hands. I absolutely loved the school and because it's small and still growing, I think you have good odds of a spot as long as the fit is there. [/quote]
