[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  My child was at Maddux for pre-k year only.  We never did PEP.  We ended up pulling DC after pre-k.  Maddux was not the right fit for him (even though they accepted him).  DC was not happy there.  His diagnosis is not ASD, but rather ADHD and language based learning disability (so for the poster saying all the kids were some degree of ASD, I disagree with that).  Anyway, I know Maddux is a good fit for some kids, and I've heard others had a wonderful experience.  We do not fall into that category.[/quote]

NP here, whose child has ASD and thought that Maddux was a good fit. I can totally understand why someone whose primary diagnosis is language based learning disability would find that Maddux isn't a good fit. Their social curriculum was much stronger than their academic curriculum, especially for someone with specific learning disabilities. For us, the trade-off was worth it because my child needed the explicit social teaching, but for a child whose needs were more academic, there are other schools that do a better job of that.[/quote]

22:19 again.  I completely agree with this. I have no bad feelings about Maddux. We moved my child to a different school where he is thriving.  That's really all that counts, finding the right fit. And I know that can be very hard.[/quote]
