[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were encouraged to continue an application to MAP for our AS kid not once but twice. There were visits and detailed discussions of kid coming for intake, when the start date would be, not an acceptance, but definitely every indication that there would be one. The first time we were going for due process and they just basically dropped us. One month after a "let's have him in for an intake visit in two weeks or so," I finally had to get in touch with them. They had just dropped us completely. That's when we got a no after them knowing we were putting them as our school for due process and talking about intake meetings.

Stupidly we looked again a couple of years later and this time money was a huge issue for them. After a lengthy conversation about DS, Monica actually said she was really concerned about the money and didn't want to spend much more time on us unless the money was 100% in place because "it was a waste of her time." Still there was discussion of further involvement with my child. Monica telling me what I should tell DS about the next visit. Thank goodness I didn't bring it up with him since nothing was officially on the calendar because then it was complete radio silence for a couple of weeks and then a rejection letter.

I understand their right to have a process and decide that they aren't the right fit for some kids. Of course. However, they seem to be really confused about the potential impact of discussing "intake" at a school with a kid with AS and then dumping us for unknown reasons. Will definitely never look their way again though I'm sure it is a great fit for many other people.[/quote]

Thank you for sharing.  Sounds like our experience with Unstuck isn't out of the norm at Ivymount.[/quote]
