[quote=Anonymous]My ds has adhd and learning disabilities as well as anxiety which affects his interactions with peers. He attends The Diener School in Potomac. There are a number of families from VA who go there. Perhaps carpools could be arranged to ease the commute. In any event, I can't say enough good things about Diener. My ds has made great strides academically and socially. We had a great IEP in a public school but my ds still floundered academically and especially, socially. One of the best things about Diener is that my son now has a peer group of kids just like him. He has real friends which he didn't have in public. He now enjoys going to school and even reads for pleasure (whereas before he hardly ever picked up a book). Is it perfect? No, but no school is. Are there kids who occasionally misbehave? Of course, but kids misbehave in public school too. Like Newton, there is an emphasis on physical activity with an awesome fitness teacher, Mr. Aaron, and also weekly instruction from Fitness for Health. Call and talk to the admissions director and she will be able to give you a feel for whether it is the right environment for your child.[/quote]
