[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my child does not have HFA but has some similar tendencies. He was doing well in a typical environment but we really wanted as much therapy and intervention as possible to help address the social quirks he has, which are subtle but present and I'm sure would be a problem as he gets older without support early on. Anyhow, we opted for a SN environment early on and it's been night and day. Some therapists and family members think he doesn't need it at all but our philosophy has been to focus on helping him versus worrying about stigma of a SN school or what his peers there are diagnosed with. Bottom line is that it's been phenomenal for him and we are so grateful as many of his social quirks are gone. He is learning to manage them. He's a sweet and incredibly smart and sensitive boy. When I think of privates I'd consider later on, McLean is at the top of the list, along with potentially St. Andrews. Other than that it would be public with supports where they are legally required to meet my kids' needs and I have power to fight and make that happen if needed. You don't have that power in a private.[/quote]

You sound like a very thoughtful, wise parent. I appreciate seeing posts like this.[/quote]
