What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids?
We have a gifted child and one who has an IEP and they've been able to work with us and them extremely well. - Aug 2024
I've not experienced this first-hand, but I beleive the general attitude would be one of accommodation. - Apr 2012
I know a family with a little boy who has an autism-related issue (highly functioning) and AOSR was very accomodating. They even have a speech therapist come in on a regular basis to work with him. The parents are very pleased with the results and feel that their son is actually thriving. Having said that, I'm fairly certain that the schools only take kids on case-by-case basis. I don't know at what point they are no longer capable of accomodating special needs children. Another collegue sent his kindergardener to AMBRIT. His child had speech issues and Ambrit gladly took the child in and the child's condition improved during their time in Rome. Marymount is definitely very reluctant to take on such kids. I don't have any information about any other schools. - Feb 2008
