[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our friends have two kids there and their pediatrician told them that it's rare for a kid to go there and not get some sort of therapy - much of which is not needed according the pediatrician. She said that school is notorious for over-therapizing kids.

Also, with the scandal, there was an exodus of families so the school is not on strong financial footing. Teacher student ratios have gone in a bad direction. But no one talks about it openly.[/quote]

My pediatrician told me the same thing when the school suggested therapy for my child. Our doctor strongly disagreed, reassuring us that my child was completely normal. So I chose to stop the process and, from then on, simply nodded politely whenever the school recommended therapy.

And for those wondering, most of us at NCRC don’t have a regular in-network pediatrician. We choose an out-of-network doctor instead. We pay more, but we get a full 45-60 minute appointment rather than a rushed 15-minute visit. These pediatricians know their patient very well. [/quote]

Alum family. They told us our kid had autism. We had it checked out by 4 different specialists and all of them said absolutely not. it turned out our kid had a friend with autism and mirrored some behaviors during play to engage with her. This was obviously a very trying time for our family and I put it behind us. But reading these messages has brought back those difficult memories.[/quote]
