[quote=Anonymous]My kid just started 9th at Walls, and his ADHD manifests differently (okay with fast-paced conversations but sometimes needs extra time), but FWIW: I was shocked that he got in, fully expected him to opt for his feeder school instead, and wouldn't have been surprised if he found Walls overwhelming, but so far he's been able to keep up. His peers seem pretty supportive (e.g., reminding each other about due dates), and the administration makes it a priority to provide and promote as much support as kids might need. And while the recent parent-teacher conferences confirmed our suspicion that his teachers had no idea about his 504 plan, once we mentioned it, they seemed totally open to providing accommodations when needed. All this to say that I agree 100% with the PP: if your child gets in, he will be sufficiently supported. Hope this helps, and good luck![/quote]
