[quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty sure I've gone through the list already, but I need a Montgomery County private special needs school for kindergarten (maybe 1st grade).  My youngest child is high anxiety and ADHD-combined type.  We are trying medication for both.

Most of the schools I know about don't deal with behavioral issues at all.  She has anxiety attacks which present at this age like tantrums or willfulness.  She does beautifully right now if she has someone right there with her helping her when she goes through these moments, but she has a very small class this year and the teacher can handle it.  Academically, she is reading and doing math at a  second grade level, but her anxiety and ADHD make it very difficult for her to cope in other ways.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  We are looking at the Lourie Center but I don't think we can afford $68,000 a year.  They seem to specialize in anxiety issues.  Worried we would get kicked out of some of the other privates (Maddux, etc.).  We have not ruled out public school and getting an IEP ahead of time, but she is not my first kid with anxiety and I am not so sure I have been thrilled with the results from MCPS for my other two (even though one of them took the magnet route).[/quote]
