[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid with autism, anxiety, and work refusal (not school refusal) is doing great at Nora.[/quote]

How did Nora handle the work refusal?[/quote]

Lots of support around anxiety, so child felt safe asking for help. Making most work done in class, instead of homework. Dividing assignments into really, really small pieces so that it wasn't overwhelming.[/quote]

Thank you!  This is really helpful.  Were they proactive in implementing these supports when your kid first started there, or only after work was refused?[/quote]

Proactive. It's really built into their program, available to everyone. And when the already small chunks were still overwhelming, they worked with us to problem solve and have more frequent check ins.[/quote]

That sounds amazing.  I'm over here crying that they don't have a middle school.  Hoping we can find an interim solution to get through one more year but we will almost certainly be applying after that.[/quote]

Nora parent here. MS (at a mainstream private I don't recommend) was hard, really hard. There's no equivalent to Nora that I was able to find for MS.[/quote]
