considering special ed. vs. SEIT in regular class for 3.5 year old with asperger's. anyone have experience with Manhattan Center or with Central Park Early Learning. high-functioning is a major understatement in terms of intelligence and speech, but there are sensory issues and a need for some physical therapy. IEP is coming up in one week and I still can't decide what to do. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Stay AWAY from Manhattan Center. It is not a good place. CPELC is much more highly regarded. [ Reply | More

It has a really horrible reputation. The EI service coordination they provide is better than the school setting, which is routinely described as "Dickensian." It is not ever included in the list of the CPSE centers that people apply to. My EI service coordinator herself told me not to go anywhere near it. [ Reply | More
