[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone found a consultant helpful for navigating this process? Our teen seems (to me) too high functioning for the 2 year specialized programs (which often seem to be for kids w/ ID or more significant DDs) but not advanced enough academically for a traditional 4 year program.

Looking for a decent fit. Obviously interested in community college too, but hoping she can get at least two years living somewhere else to gain independence [/quote]

What about a school like landmark or beacon?[/quote]

Look at schools like Marshall or Mercyhurst. [b]Also, many of our ASD kids are not socially mature so a year at community college to get acclimated to college courses before going away may be helpful. [/b]

Landmark and Beacon are both very small. I would definitely visit to see if either would be a good fit.[/quote]

We're considering a year at Mansfield Hall for that very reason -- letting them move away from home after high school, which they are very ready to do, but get support acclimating to college level work before starting a 4 year program.[/quote]
