[quote=Anonymous]We are fortunate to have both of these schools as options for our DC for next September. We are torn. Cost is one consideration. We love that Lab has a vibrant community, a lot of research-based and cutting edge methods, and it also has the reputation of being “The” private school in the DC area for students with dyslexia. Lab accepted DC right away, and has been proactive about reaching out and answering questions, putting us in touch with other parents and resources.

We like Siena’s smaller size, more intimate setting, and less institutional approach to learning. They put a lot of effort into working with DC during the admissions process, with multiple day-long visits over multiple days, to make sure it was the “right fit.” Not sure if the quick acceptance vs slower more cautious acceptance is better? DC likes both schools; but they are quite different. DC is in mid-elementary and has a variety of learning disabilities (moderate to severe dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, working memory and auditory processing delays). Also some speech and OT needs. We are not sure if long-term SN school is the right approach for the next 8-9 years. But after the last two years in public, DC is not meeting IEP goals and needs some intense remediation. But then we would love to get him back into public school.  Would appreciate any tips or advice.[/quote]
