[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think [b]you REALLY need to understand[/b] that the kids in mainstream privates in this area are also all very bright AND don't have ASD. Is it fair to force your kid into that situation - [b]only you know [/b]the answer to that. [/quote]

I’m from the area and am very aware.  And, yes, that’s correct - only I know the answer.  And believe me, I’ve heard your opinions.  Thank you.  Now I’ll keep open this thread and see what, if anything, comes in re specific schools while completing the current testing/consulting process.

NP. It's so ignorant to think that there are not ASD kids at mainstream privates who are doing well. For K, try Chesterbrook if you are in Virginia. I think they only do junior K but I know a few kids who have done well there recently. If you are in Maryland you might want to call Harbor. I think it goes to 2nd or 3rd grade and it's very nurturing. I do think it can be great if you can afford it and you have the time to give your child the most possible support at this age so that he can be mainstreamed later and do well so while I completely understand your desire to look at mainstream privates you may be happier in the long-run with a SN school at this age. Many Maddux graduates, for example, are doing very well now in mainstream privates but I wonder if they would be struggling more if they hadn't had that early childhood support.[/quote]  Harbour is extremely close to Maddux. Of course there are ASD kids at all schools, the issue is the degree to which they are impacted. A lot of kids who are not diagnosed until much later likely do "fine" at mainstreams even if they struggle socially etc. [/quote]
