[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for all of you recommending Field, am interested in where all the kids with Aspergers, etc are at Field-- there are not many. A few, but the classes are by no means filled with kids on the spectrum. [/quote] The admissions team at Field told us that Field may be Ok for kids with mild issues (presumably like ADD) but is not the place for kids with more serious LDs; Lab School may be more appropriate in that case. Call them and ask - they were very upfront about it when asked.[/quote] Lab does not take kids on the spectrum -- they are a great example of admissions offices/educators who should know better than to paint all diagnoses with a broad brush, yet make decisions based on stereotypes. But, yes, for kids with more significant academic challenges, Lab would be more appropriate than Field.[/quote]
