Admission for students needing limited support will be determined on a case by case basis, and is dependent upon whether a particular student's needs match the level of support available. ASD does not offer the full continuum of special education programs as mandated by law for public schools in the United States. ASD has limited resources to support students who, due to severe disabilities (i.e. learning, physical, and/or behavioral), require major staffing, curricular, or assessment modifications.
