[quote=Anonymous]My kid did with a similar profile did great at RICA.  I would encourage you to at least ask for a referral.

Admission to RICA is made by the medical staff, not the school.  If the therapeutic staff believes this is the right placement and they can help him, he will be admitted.  The medical admission goes through a separate door from the school.  During the intake, there will not be a school visit.

RICA used to have an elem school.  After Covid, there weren't enough elem referals to keep the elem teacher on staff so at the moment, they don't have one.  BUT the principal wants to bring the elem school back.  So if you were to be admitted, they would need to staff the position.  Summer is a great time to start this process.

When my kid was in the elem school, there were only 4-5 kids (think one room schoolhouse).  There was a teacher + at least one para in the room.  The elem is in a separate wing from the MS and HS.  They have the space and support staff to support him 1:1 in the beginning and then slowly integrate him into the larger class.  [/quote]
