[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were told my child would have wonderful accommodations at Field (during the admissions and acceptance process). It was awful. It took months for them to provide an accommodations document and my DS had to almost argue with every teacher when he needed to use them (extra time on tests, chunking assignments). Field says they'll do it then don't (we aren't the only ones who had this experience). This was three years ago. We only stayed a year. [/quote]

We also had that experience (in MS). Extra time wasn't a problem, but getting any other accommodation, or even just a basic understanding of executive function needs, was over promised and underdelivered.[/quote]

Field is known to overpromise and underdeliver, and they are internally aware of the problem (look at the faculty AND staff turnover these past years) but the HOS won't stop until families pull their tuition, and sadly many don't.  Field is more business than school.[/quote]

The past two years turnover has been practically nonexistent.  The school is full and the waitlist doesn’t move.  College outcomes are fantastic and the vast majority of families are beyond satisfied.  [/quote]
