[quote=Anonymous]After a hard year at Hamm, with tons of lost and late homework, last minute projects, and an exploding backpack and bedroom of papers we finally had DD evaluated for ADHD and she was diagnosed with mild inattentive ADHD and some difficulty with visual processing.

We didn’t get much hands on support from Hamm but we didn’t have an IEP; the PT conferences were student lead, so we didn’t seem to gain much insight into what goes into the classroom, but DD is at the highest level in math and has all As and Bs despite the disorder.

We are still at the submitting paperwork step with APS and they seem a bit backlogged with the end of the school year.  What sort of individualized supports should we expect from WL while DD is there?  Our counselor says there should be weekly executive function coaching meetings where they go through her planner and help her schedule, and some accommodations like having a seat near the front (though in high school I assumed kids pick their own seats right?).

What else would we be able to request for this diagnoses?

We were kind of hoping to get into HBW since it’s a smaller school and her counselor would have a smaller cohort even though they would also have teaching duties.

DH thinks we should go private and is pushing OConnell (we are Catholic so this is not unreasonable).

Can anyone help me bolster my case to DH that WL will provide a strong foundation and IEP implementation for getting DD to develop her skills and ready for college?[/quote]
