[quote=Anonymous]Yes but you need to look into the schools.  Private schools often accommodate with things like extra time.  But they often don’t have significant support on their staff so you pay for tuition and tutoring after school. That said, there are some excellent schools that offer support.  Lab, McLean and Oakwood specifically focus on children with learning challenges so you would get the support during the day.  Flint hill has a sort of school within the school in lower grades for children with relatively mild learning differences.  If the issues are severe they will not admit because the goal is mainstream those kids by mid-elementary (although they still offer support all the way).  You need to be very transparent about what you need to allow the school to be frank.  The worst thing you can do is minimize the issues and go someplace that simply does not have the plan to accommodate.  Some parents get mad saying private schools “can” offer this or that and therefore should.  But that isn’t the parents’ choice.  Private schools have a lot of financial pressures so they have to be very careful how much they offer or accommodate. [/quote]
