[b]Pretty much.  Our neuropsych told us straight out that we were not going to get the same level of academics at a SN school as we do in our current public or at a mainstream private school.[/b]

And he or she knows this just how?  And how can a physician make such a wide-sweeping claim covering all SN schools?  Let's have your neuropsych come and sit in on my DC's AB/BC Calculus class and then say that.[/quote]

There aren't that many schools that serve Asperger's which is my kid's diagnosis.  DS does not need help with academics but need social supports so we're talking about Ivymount MAP and Auburn.  The neuropsych has previous clients who attended these schools and according to the parents, the academics were "under whelming".[/quote]

Just wanted to add that Auburn seems to do differentiation in math very well.  When we visited, we met a girl in their middle school who was working on multivariable calculus and we were told that she "tutored" an elementary school kid who also was very gifted in math.

Our neuropsych told us that his client who was "underwhelmed" with the academics at Auburn was a few years ago and that the current head of the school was very open in meeting the needs of their students.  The school is very small with 35? students in their SS campus.[/quote]
