Wilson School / Mill Neck Manor

At my DS's CPSE meeting last month, we were granted approval for a FT center based program. We are trying to find placement now for Sept and it is difficult since some places are already full. I have a tour set up tomorrow for Mill Neck Manor and a screening on Weds at Barbara Wilson school. Any info, pos/neg experiences about these places that you can share?

My DS is turning 3 this month and diagnosed with ASD about 6 months ago. Looking for placement in a 10:1:2 or 12:1:2 self contained class and he will get speech 2x/week / No OT or PT. Most places don't even call me back. Brookville center said they are full and not giving tours/screenings. Such an overwhelming process!!

I liked barbara c Wilson, don't know about the other school.
Unfortunately I couldn't get in barbara c Wilson.

Thanks for the response. We really liked Barbara Wilson as well. Mill Neck Manor was also great, but they weren't sure of openings and is further away for us. I am going to call BCW tomorrow and accept the position they offered DS in the 10:1:2 class.

We ended up also screening at Just Kids Lindenhurst and were offered a position in their 12:1:2 (half day integrated) but liked BCW better.

We also chose Barbara C. Wilson and felt very fortunate to get a spot there. My son has been a student there only a short time and I already notice an improvement!

Thanks Maggie. We can't wait for Sept to get here!!

As far as water for drinking, do you have to send in a bottle every day or they can provide water?

We are so used to day care where every bit of food and drink was included.

Re: Wilson School / Mill Neck Manor

Yes it's definitely different than daycare! They don't have microwaves, but they do have a refrigerator in the classroom. The water is not filtered, so I send a big bottle of water and juice that they use for the week. They will let you know when you need to bring more.
