Our experience with Ivymount is that they bend over backwards to help you out--including the coordinator of the social skills group.  She has a SN child too and I imagine she would have moved heaven and earth to make it work.  I also read the letter when you posted it here.  It was respectful.  I think many of us have had much shoddier treatment by SN therapists/professionals.  You really need to get over it.

The real lesson is that you probably should have started medication long b/f the social skills group.  You were obviously were in denial about how disruptive your kid was.  Your one bad experience got your butt in gear and pointed in the right direction.  [/quote]

I am glad you had a good experience with Ivymount. We did not and I have every right to post about how we were sent an acceptance letter after the required play date and then had the acceptance rescinded after they made us come in for another observation under the pretext of "getting the right supports".  If they felt my child was "too disruptive" why did they send an acceptance letter in the the first place instead of making the acceptance conditional on another observation?  Rescinding an offer like that is shabby treatment no matter how "respectful" they word it and it would be the same for a job offer, college acceptance, camp,...  therapy program for SN kids, etc.

The real lesson here is that Ivymount treats us with disrespect.

As for my being in denial.  Not quite.  DS was having a particularly difficult yr at school but had not been diagnosed with ADHD at that point and all his difficulties attributed to ASD by his developmental pediatrician.  Ivymount even suggested in their emails rescinding their acceptance that while DS may not be a good candidate for Unstuck and On Target, DS will receive the supports he needs in their Model Asperger's Program at 50k+ a yr.

No one suggested that ADHD was the problem until DS got a full neuropsych with Dr. Black.

If our bad experience with Ivymount pains you so much, I suggest you not read them because I am going to keep posting it.

DS is doing better then great now but Ivymount made everything even worse prior to the ADHD diagnosis.  They waited nearly 6 wks+ after we were accepted into Unstuck and I had told my then 6 yr old with Asperger's that he will be attending the program to tell us that DS will not be attending after all.
