Gosh this is very eye opening! Thanks for sharing all your research and experience in this area, I imagine many parents would be shocked and stressed out about this situation. We are still a long way til this point and in a different country and who knows the hurdles here, but I’m glad to now have this in the back of mind as something that needs a lot of thought and attention!

This was very interesting to read, thank you!

A family friend of ours has special needs/severe learning disabilities. He’s not autistic but needed a great deal of support to get through k-12 and then college. He attended New England College. From what I knew at the time (2004-5ish) NEC did a good job & had lots of supports for special needs kids.

Have you looked at NEC?
