[quote=Anonymous]We moved specifically in-bounds for Bethesda Elementary for my ADHD, MERLD son. They were quick to get him his IEP and the speech therapist is great.

However the fit this year in 1st grade is not good, and I do not know whether it is Curriculum 2.0 or the teacher. I recognize that for these special kids, the fit will not always be good, regardless of the school!
We are considering the Gifted&Talented / Learning Disabled centers (elementary grades are at Barnsley ED in Rockville), because I had DS tested with the WISC-IV (an IQ test) and the different subscores were incredibly scattered, some in the gifted range.

Test your son. At the very least, you will obtain a detailed and informative report of what his strengths and weaknesses are, which will allow you to tailor his education to his needs. Maybe you will find that he is gifted in some areas but that his disabilities masked them in the home or classroom setting.

As PPs said, look for a good public middle and high school. Unless you are willing to consider the specialized private schools that do cater to ADHD students, I do not think the others will be willing or able to attend to his needs. [/quote]
