[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering Maret, GDS, Sidwell, Beauvoir, Sheridan for a bright child with no cognitive delays but speech, motor, and fine motor delays as a result of her hypotonia. She has private therapy end had made great strides over the past couple years.
I know none of these schools are required to provide accommodations. 
Which schools do best with kids who may need some targeted support like mine? Any schools you’d absolutely eliminate from the list? Any others you’d suggest considering?[/quote]

Honestly, I have a very bright child with ADHD and would never consider any of those schools. They are all pressure cookers who will not accommodate a child with any delays and will get more competitive as they get older. Extremely bright students with no delays or differences already struggle in those environments, I wouldn't want my child to be the one who had even more to overcome and the only one with these issues.

The suggestions for Field, Burke, and Lowell are all good ones that can accommodate differences. You would find the administration at any of those schools happy to partner with you on getting the best experience for your child.[/quote]
