Schools accepts mild learning issues, no behavioral issues, no heavy learning disabilities.

Social skills and pragmatics are discussed weekly but not heavy.

ot and slp are for extra pay

It is a pretty narrow band of kids they are looking for.

I was told they have a lot of kids with minor learning issues, ADHD, but enough to qualify for an IEP in public school or they only qualify for minimal IEP services and the parents don't want them falling through the cracks so they send them to McLean where classes are smaller and teachers are trained to deal with these minor issues.

Can someone tell me was tuition is at Maddux? I looked on the website but didn't see it published.

To poster 10:41. My 5 y.o. pre-k, ADHD son currently attends St. Andrew's and I send lunch for him daily (he is also a Type 1 Diabetic). So, it's not true that kids have to eat the school provided bag lunch only. They offer a lunch for purchase or you bring your own. It is a nut free school.

Half day I believe is around $18,000 and full day about $28,000 (This is , of course, not exact, but close).

27..How does your child like St. Andrews? Do they accomodate his needs well?

My son LOVES St. Andrew's. We are in the process of seeing if accomodations can work. They are certainly engaged in a dialog with us and express interest in doing so. We'd like him to stay here if at all possible. The nurse is good with the Diabetes management.

To poster I quoted...Did it work out at St. A's? I hope so. How many slots per class do they all for kids with learning issues?

Doubt they have any "slots," but those kids are there. My DS is really bright, very verbal, social, scored 96% on the WIPPSI, etc.

So it sounds like it is similar in some ways to McLean school or Flint Hill in that they are accepting of kids with minor learning differences, but they have more kids who don't have LDs than McLean or Flint Hill. Sometimes schools have "slots" for kids with minor learning disabilities, but perhaps that's more at the preschool level like NCRC.

Learning Disabilities don't imply that a child is not bright, social or verbal. There are kids with LDs who do quite well on IQ tests too, while for others it may not capture their abilities. The idea of having "slots" for kids with LDs is you only have so many resources, so you admit a few kids per class who need some extra assistance.
