[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the severity of the issues OP.  If mild, then I would say MCPS or FCPS.[b] Otherwise, private.  don't waste your time with public[/b].[/quote]

Unfortunately, we can't afford $28-38K per year for private school so private school is not an option. [/quote]

[b]privates do give out financial aid.  I used to think the same thing OP, but it eventually got to the point where we had to find a way to pay for it.  We were spending thousands on tutoring and therapy when we were in public. When I did the math I quickly realized that private was not that much more of a reach from what we were spending out outside sup[/b]ports.

Again -  It just all depends on the severity of the issues.[/quote]

This is a good point. We're also spending quite a bit for tutoring, etc. Is private better primarily because of the smaller classes?[/quote]

Smaller classes and individualized attention definitely help.  There are also private SN schools.  Have you looked at Auburn?  They specialize in ASD and severe ADHD kids.[/quote]

certain privates (Lab, Siena, Auburn, Commonwealth etc) actually use different teaching modalities specifically targeted to the learning styles of the students. So private in and of itself won't always be enough. You need to make sure they are experienced in teaching your child based on their issues.[/quote]
