[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your question hits on what I find to be one of the most common misconceptions about private schools vs. public schools. Many people assume that because you are paying tuition the private schools need to meet student needs and/or are more able to meet a variety of students' needs --private schools do not.

As you note your school is doing what they are willing to do in terms of extra time.  [b]Does your school have a student services office? If they do, I would start there--often they can help with identifying teachers that do well with kids who have diagnoses. If your school does not then if you look elsewhere you should find a school that does have such an office. [/b]

If you are wanting to keep her in her current placement one thing to ask your school is if they have tutors who regularly come in and work with students, often those tutors have a rapport with the teachers and can more easily get access to curriculum and/or understand various teaching styles and assessments. You will pay for this out of pocket but it can limit the amount of afterschool time you spend supporting her.

Also have kids with ADHd and other learning disorders at an independent school, and if your school doesn’t have an office for learning support, I would switch schools.
