any oyster parents whose children have adhd?

[Anonymous]

hi folks:

hope you are well. we are interested in sending our ds to oyster school (pre-k if we win the lottery) and i was hoping to hear from any parents who might have kids with adhd, sensory issues, or any other type of developmental issues in that same vein.

our ds has a diagnosis of "probable adhd" and he gets OT for sensory-seeking behavior. he goes to a private preschool right now with a pretty decent student/teacher ratio. i am a bit worried about how things will go when the class size gets bigger and there are stricter behavioral expectations.

has oyster been a positive environment for your child with out of the ordinary needs?

thanks.

ps-my dh speaks spanish and so ds already has a solid foundation. so we are not, at this time, concerned about the bilingual issues.

I see that no one is answering so I'll just throw in my $.02. My child is at Oyster but does not have unusual needs. You should call the principal, but not until after the lottery is decided. Oyster has a special pre-k program for profoundly disabled children (it was in the NW Current a couple of months back because a little girl who went there passed away); I don't know if that means that they are able to dedicate extra on-site resources to children with out-of-the-ordinary needs, but it's worth checking.

Every public school is required to provide certain accommodations, but that does not mean that a particular one will be the best fit.
