[quote=Anonymous]DS has a few LDs that are all somewhat mild to moderate (dyslexia/dysgraphia/inattentive ADHD/sensory issues). He needs structure, clear assignments, and a hard working cohort to perform well. And he needs some accommodations to perform well (esp extra time and taking tests in a separate location). He does all his work with good structure/support and really wants to excel in school and can be a bit of a teacher's pet (despite inattention). He has done great in a Catholic K-8 which is small with high academic expectations. His MAP tests have been good but not off-the-charts. Normal range intelligence but incredibly high visual spatial intelligence and weak in fluid reasoning. He thinks in pictures, learns visually, struggles with symbol-based learning, and does not follow directions well. Is there an MCPS high school - or program - that serves this type of kid well?
