[quote=Anonymous]looking at McLean and Maddux for Kindergarten for that in between child who is on track academically but has some language  and attention issues. No behavior issues. Class size is too large in neighborhood school. Both schools are chartered as regular education schools but  obviously accommodate some special needs. Thinking that schools with accommodations in a nurturing environment may be a better fit for the next few years and then transition to a more traditional school later. Can anyone comment on the pros and cons of these schools? Does one school do certain things better in some areas? Maddux seems to have more enrollment in K-2, but Mclean's big entry year influx is 3rd? How are behavior issues at these schools? Obviously both schools have structure, but is one more structured than the other? McLean has a really long day, and a busing system which is not a positive, but it also  seems to have alot of breaks. Maddux seems to have a shorter day and drop offs. Maddux has both OT and speech therapy pushed in, while McLean's model is optional pull out.  group therapy is included  in the cost at Maddux, whereas it is an additional cost at McLean. Do people find group therapy useful or do they think individual is better? Any comments would be useful from people who may have considered both schools, and what their experience has been. [/quote]
