[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP with HFA kid trying to find a mainstream private for MS. We are very upfront in interviews with schools despite the likelihood that our child could "pass" as NT in a school visit. We would not be serving our child well if we tried to deny who she is.  But, given the responses from the private schools so far, I can understand how a frustrated parent of a kid with HFA would be tempted to try to get around the admissions process and deal with therapies outside of school.

Have you looked at Field?  It was recommended by our neuropsych for our ASD/ADHD DS but it isn't a good fit for us academically bc we need a rigorous math curriculum.  DS's psychiatrist thinks a public magnet with IEP will work better but we don't want to move to MD or VA.  We've found that in school supports work better for DS than any outside therapies but YMMV.

Look at Field.  It does look like a very inclusive, welcoming school.  Also, your child's doctors like ours should be able to make some recommendations.[/quote]
