[quote=Anonymous]We are planning to send our son to public kindergarten next Fall. He has a diagnosis of ADHD. We plan to meet with the principal and talk about accommodations, teacher etc. But we are starting to get really concerned about how our son is going to deal with a class of 25-28 kids and 1 teacher, the noisy lunchroom etc. Even though we have missed many private school deadlines for applications, we are wondering if it's worth seeing if any private schools have any spots left. If they don't, we will have no  wiggle room and will just do public. Our thought originally was that we would just try public kindergarten first and see how he does (he is not on meds as of yet). Then IF he has a hard time, we would apply to private schools. We are so confused though... IF there were any spots left, what schools would accept a kid with average and above intelligence (no LD) and ADHD? Some of these private schools sound very progressive and we feel like he needs a more structured program (having come from an unstructured program). Do people prefer private schools for active boys with ADHD or public? Our main thought always returns to classroom size and student teacher ratio. The public school and private schools we would be looking at would be in MOCO county. Any advice would be great.[/quote]
