        Overall

        We are the parents of a beautiful 3 year old boy with ASD. We learned about SCEIC through Early Steps when our son was 2 (pre-diagnosis). We were looking to integrate him into a social environment for a few hours a week. We brought him in for an evaluation and were sent away as he was deemed "socially inappropriate." SCEIC has since undergone a management change so we tried again, this time at 3. We brought him in again with an official diagnosis of ASD and a copy of his IEP. We were very up-front with our desires for a few hours a week for social interaction. We were told then that due to the director's "strong feelings" towards consistency, there would not be a place for him unless we were willing to enroll him 5 days a week. I have heard a few good things about this place, but many bad things as well from parents of special needs children and our experiences have been awful.



        I hope our experience is just the anomaly and other parents of special needs children have better luck.
