[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP that you and your daughter had this experience! I had a similar reaction on a phone call with the admissions director who repeated several times that she wouldn’t “shut the door” on my son who has LDs because of his ASD diagnosis (also mild) but that they would have to assess his application because they can’t really serve kids well with ASD. I want to go to a school where my son is celebrated not tolerated. It’s next to impossible in the DMV area to find a private school that serves kids with mild ASD but who also have learning disabilities. I found McLean was dismissive just hearing his diagnosis of ASD. Even worse was Siena! When I spoke to their admissions head, they said he would have to have an addendum on his neuropsych proving his no longer meets criteria for ASD in order to be considered. That seemed like discrimination to me. OP did her research and spoke to a consultant. I’m sorry OP that your daughter had to hear that so publicly.[/quote]
