Co-ops or HS programs for kids with Learning Differences?

[Anonymous]

I am trying to explore options for co-ops, Home School programs and private school options for kids with speech, motor planning delays, some mild Learning Differences. It seems most HS co-ops are only for independent & advanced learners. Are there any that are inclusive to kids with Learning Differences or disabilities??

Are there any online HS programs that are able to accommodate for kids with Learning issues?? Have you hired private help for such things?? Or maybe found camps for kids with Learning Differences that in during typical school breaks (to supplement services & offer some peer experience)?

Checking out private programs and school too. Though obviously this forum isn't for full-time private school. But, maybe someone here uses a part-time private school or program to supplement their HS program.

Hi OP -
I don't have too much to suggest (though I am sure that there will be others who will).

We used McLean School summer school to help our son with learning differences get through high school math. The price was also reasonable (way less than a tutor would have been). Highly recommend. Our DS mostly had working memory and concentration problems, so could do advanced work, but could only focus on a few subjects at a time, so normal co-ops worked for him.

Be sure to go to the welltrainedmind high school forum and ask your question about on-line programs.

You might want to check out Fusion Academy. They are expensive, but I think you can opt for part time classes there provided you are not asking for a diploma from them.

My kid with some learning differences was well served by classes he took at Florida Virtual School's Global School. It's not the most rigorous program, but the material was well laid out, and it was easy to understand what was needed. The classes are asynchronous so he could do a few classes at a time, at a faster pace, which helped with executive functioning. The activities were also nicely varied, which was helpful to him as he struggles with attention.

Thank you for those that replied I will explore each of your recommendations.

Does anyone have any recommendations for similar needs/ learning differences for Elementary? I am having trouble finding somewhat affordable academic options near DC.
We know of some summer options like Imagination Stage (I think that is the name) and a gym in Rockville. A few others that I can not think of at the moment. I think the Lab and or Lowell school have summer options.
But I am having a hard time finding "school year" 21-22 academic programs for our younger one with specials needs.

What type of special needs? You might be better served by posting this in the special needs forum.
