[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need an educational consultant. As
Social demands increase so do kids like this appear more autistic. And OP, my gosh, of course you disclose the diagnois. The applications ask. What would you do, lie? That’s honestly wild to me. I can’t imagine doing that to my child.

If your kid ness supports you need a good iep or a special needs school. There may be one offs etc. but why not just go with the best known fit? Just so you can say it’s a monsteram private? I’d explore that carefully. [/quote]

Thanks.  She said her child had been admittted so I asked if she disclosed. I wanted to know whether the school admitted knowing the kids status.   That’s all.  Pleas don’t read more into my question.[/quote]

Also, some kids are admitted before getting a diagnosis so it is important to ask when the kid got the diagnosis. Some schools will work with a kid who is already at the school but would not admit a kid with a known diagnosis. [/quote]

Often on admissions they have people who have plenty of experience with kids and they will likely be able to at least have a hypothesis that say a kid is on the spectrum. If it does not appear in the paperwork, you wonder if the parent is either hiding something or completely out to lunch (given that the kid is an age where it should have been picked up). You are always better off being honest and not hiding anything no matter how you explain it to yourself. Plenty of kids get counseled out who came in without a diagnosis, but clearly needed more help than the school could give. You want to set your kid up for success. By being honest you show the school you are the type of parent who is a team player and who truly cares about finding the right match.[/quote]

Thank you.  Again I’m not seeking guidance on whether to disclose - that was never an issue for us.   I’m asking for recommendations on specific mainstream schools that are inclusive, willing to do some basic accommodations and preferably have a strong SEL program.  Much appreciated![/quote]

Oops...my bad. Sorry. I don't know what SEL is but Flint Hill used to accommodate some, but I think that was more for dyslexia and mild ADHD. Was Burgany Farms mentioned? I think Lowell has been mentioned. McLean School (in MD)?[/quote]
