[quote=Anonymous]This is based on what we were told by a clinician and a few parents we know with kids at the various schools, but I may not be remembering correctly. All schools mentioned below have bright children with learning issues, but the schools vary in terms of the amount of support and attention they can provide and degree of training staff must have to work with learning issues. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong.... Accomodates very mild learning disabilities and/or mild attention issues &offer inclusive program with those who do not have learning disabilities, but limitations in terms of what special education services can be provided: St. Andrews in Md. Flint Hill School in Va. McLean School of Maryland Can accomodate mild to moderate learning issues and attention issues and can provide specialized services.: Lab School of Washington Kingsbury School in DC or MD-don't recall (I think I was told Kingsbury has a gifted and learning disabled program) Small class sizes. Can accomodate moderate learning issues (bright kids who need extra support), mild to moderate attention issues, mild to moderate pragmatic needs and some sensory issues (as long as there is not a behavior issue) with small classes and lots of good and highly trained support staff: Katherine Thomas School in MD Maddux School in MD Deiner School in MD Oakwood School in Va Newton School in Va. Smallest class sizes and can accomodate moderate learning issues, etc as well as attention issues and sensory issues with extra small class sizes and highly trained teachers and support staff. This is for kids with lots of potential who need an extra boost and and a flexible and creative approach at the present time in order to show their true skills. All kids could benefit from this approach of course.: Shrier or is it Shire in Va (just opened a year or two ago) Ivy Mount School in MD Please anyone feel free to correct me if I have made a mistake or have generalized too much.[/quote]
