[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the OP said McLean doesn’t serve ASD kids [i]well[/i], not that they don’t serve ASD kids at all. McLean also explained what population they [i]do[/i] serve well.

OP also said the school evaluates on an individual basis, but rather than go through that process they walked out. How do we know if the school would or wouldn’t serve a child with the profile in question if they don’t apply?

If your kid doesn’t fit the school profile fine, but attacking a school for being honest about the populations they can serve well or not serve well sounds ridiculous. Given the context of this being an informational meeting, it seems some people are getting upset about semantics. At least apply first then complain.[/quote]

This, the supports needed can be very different.  OP child was not denied entry because of ASD, and OP hasn't applied to see if it would be a good fit.  I'd rather know up front that they didn't have the supports for a child with my child's diagnosis.  We looked at schools and were told it wasn't a good fit.  No big deal.  Other schools welcomed us with open arms.[/quote]
