[quote=Anonymous]I have a child with special needs at a ritzy college.

He has a lovely single room with private bath in a nice dorm - because this college has the money to renovate and build modern dorms  with central A/C that look like hotels, and make single rooms available to kids who need them. He also met with the director of the Disability office and received all the accommodations he asked for without the slightest difficulty. The professors understand his accommodations and the process has been very smooth so far.

Since he has autism, it will be difficult for him to partake of the social perks of this college: the sports amenities, the socials, and even the career counseling, which is all within his reach...except he has difficulty in social situations. He has pushed him to belong to one club, which I was very happy about. Small victories!

In short, we pay a ton of money (and get merit aid) in the hope that at some point he will use all those services. His academic advisor reviews his course choices and meets with him one-on-one frequently, so there's that for now.
