[quote=Anonymous]There are private schools who can accommodate kids with LD. I'm not sure any of the ones you listed are right. Sidwell, and I suspect Maret, have very high workloads, which will be challenging with the reduced reading speed of dyslexia. They are likely to screen out a child with dyslexia. Green Acres is much more likely to accept a kid with LD, but their curriculum is unstructured in ways that doesn't work well for many of them. It could work, if your child has already closed the gap, or if you're willing to do extensive outside remediation. Some schools in the area where LD kids I know have thrived, and that go through 12th St. Andrews Burke Field Bullis Holy Child [/quote]
