&lt;&lt;He really needs a social skills program this year but it looks like they only want the "very cooperative, highly verbal, wonderful" kids. Not the kids who really need a program like this. &gt;&gt;

Still baffled by this. Why does Ivymount run a $2500 social skills group for kids who don't apparantly need a social skills group? More important, why are their parents paying for it?

Not sure but Unstuck thinks their 50k-80k school will be better able to meet our son's needs and we should consider it instead.[/quote]

I don't know your kid, of course, but my understanding is that MAP is "school of last resort" for highly verbal/intelligent kids on the spectrum who have behavior issues, because it's one of the few schools that can handle behaviors. So if your kid is currently showing behavior problems, I can see why they'd think MAP is a good fit. They might not know that the behavior problems are because his IEP isn't being followed or are temporary for another reason.

But regardless, having an acceptance be rescinded is nasty.[/quote]
