[quote=Anonymous]My son, currently in 5th grade, has ADHD primarily inattentive. He is smart, laid back, shy, but has lots of friends.  He is not disruptive at all, teachers like him.  He goes to therapy to help with his organization/time management.  He is currently in a great ES in Fairfax County where the teachers have applied certain techniques to his everyday to make him successful even though he doesn't have a 504 (his grades are good, he's in AAP). He gets seating next to the teacher, he gets frequent reminders to stay on task, his teacher makes sure he has written and packed accordingly, etc.  We know it won't be like that in public middle school.  We are doing well at this time and want to move DS to a private school with smaller class sizes.  We think, just having less kids will make it easier for a teacher to implement certain accommodations for DS. We will not be medicating, it is a personal choice, but we can hire a tutor/supplement is he needs help.  I know a lot of privates don't do accommodations, but some do.  We can go up to 50k.  Also, we don't want a school only for ADHD kids.  MD, DC or VA, we will be relocating close to the school we chose.  What school would you recommend I look at?[/quote]
