[quote=Anonymous]Fear of stigma is far worse than actual stigma because it keeps parents from giving their children what they need. This is not directed at OP, who didn't raise the issue of stigma. But I have seen parents make terrible mistakes because of some overblown fear that sending their child to a school that can actually support their needs will somehow harm them. No one ever said that sending a SN child to a mainstream school is disrespectful of SN schools. I send my ASD child to a mainstream school. It was the way OP talked about SN schools, not her goal, that rubbed some of us the wrong way. 12:06 raises good points but notice that in seeming to agree with OP, she does not use any of OP's denigrating language. McLean and Commonwealth are hybrid schools. I am more familiar with McLean. It is a mainstream school and sends kids to good colleges but it goes farther in accommodating SN than other mainstream schools and it is very aware of social language disabilities.[/quote]
