Admission to ASD is on a rolling basis. Application may be made by a parent or legal guardian, a person with legal authority to act in place of the parent or legal guardian, the school district in which the student resides, or by any student age 18 or older. Parents and school districts are critical partners in planning a student's program. If the application was not initiated by the Local Education Agency (LEA), it is recommended the LEA be included so that an admission evaluation process can begin as soon as possible.
As soon as the Admissions Office receives all required paperwork, we will contact you to arrange an appointment. Following a comprehensive pre-admissions evaluation and a decision by the LEA Planning and Placement Team, an Individualized Education Plan will be developed for the student. Each student's performance is monitored and formal reports are made throughout the year, including progress reports and report cards.
