[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lab school does not take kids on the spectrum.

We tried Waldorf for preschool when DS was 3 yrs old and we did not know or suspect that he has ASD/Asperger's.  We went twice a wk for 3 hrs and I went with him.  It was fine although in the beginning I had trouble getting him engaged with what was going on b/c he was mostly interested in playing with the doors.

We did not choose Waldorf for preK4 and beyond however.  While I like Waldorf and knows several adults who went to Waldorf schools through middle school, I echo pps who think it does not provide enough structure for kids with ASD.  It's just too loosey goosey and I know if my child went there, DS will be left on the periphery to his own devices.

DS is currently a rising 2nd grader at a language immersion school with an IEP for social supports and services, OT and social skills.  He does not need academic supports.  I am not sure how you can expect a Waldorf school to provide social supports without an IEP.[/quote]

That 'a interesting, the lab school in basltomore does take kids on the spectrum.[/quote]
