The admissions process typically begins with a contact by a parent or a school district, followed by a tour and a conversation with the Executive Director. If LSA seems an appropriate match, the parent or district completes the application and submits information which speak to the child’s strengths and needs; this usually includes the IEP, current evals and a writing sample. Upon review of that information, the student may be invited to spend the day at LSA.
The admissions process allows LSA to select students who need, and are expected to benefit from, our program. The decision for admittance is made within two weeks of the visit. If there is room, the student may enroll at any point in the year.
