[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I wish I knew you so you could come over for some wine. I could tell you all about how my dd was kicked out of social skills camp for...having poor social skills. True story! [/quote]

Ha!  My kid, ASD/ADHD, got kicked out of social skills class even before attending.  It was Ivymount's Unstuck and On Target program and he was accepted after the required play date (received an acceptance letter in writing) then they must have had second thoughts bc they made us come in again "to see what kind of supports he'll need" and rescinded their acceptance!

This was in second grade.  Now he is a rising 4th grader and attends mainstream camps without supports in his hobby where he excels and is rated among the tops kids in the entire USA.  So take that Ivymount!  :lol: [/quote]

That is ridiculous. I thought Ivymount's mission was to help kids like yours.[/quote]

Not pp but one of the reasons Ivymount is so "successful" and can therefore charge so much is that they cherry pick their students and screen out the most difficult. My friend's ds (very smart but with difficult behaviors) was approved for private placement from Fairfax and Ivymount said his behavior was too difficult. [/quote]

PP whose kid got "unaccepted" by Ivymount Outreach.  There is a difference between finding students who will be a good "fit" into a school's program and generally treating applicants like "crap".  I can't believe they made us come in a second time under the pretense of providing support and then rescinded their offer.  What kind of school does that?!?

Stupid and unprofessional.

Anyway, it turned out for the best.  DS attends specialized camps for his hobby with certified trainers and competes all over the country and even internationally in about a month.  Attended camp over spring break too and I have not heard one complaint.  His coaches at the camps like him a lot, think he is very talented and a great kid:)[/quote]
