[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is for my son, who is intellectual despite his special needs. It’s really been the best of both worlds: strong IEP teams in elementary, middle and high schools, and high academic expectations. He would never be where he is today were it not for teachers looking out for him but also holding him to high standards.[/quote] OP here. DS has ASD + ADHD. Although he is intellectual (tested), but the ADHD does affect his ability to sit still and stay focused. As a result we are a little reluctant to go to a very "top" school district in (NY metro or Boston metro) as they are also known to be "pressure cooker". I guess it depends on the type of special needs? We feel that ADHD is probably one condition that could more or less affect academic performance so we are a bit worried. [/quote]
