[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, that's hard to say. I would do more research, and I have heard good things about the Siena School and the Nora School, both in Silver Spring. I'm not 100% sure they are good for ADHD. For us, the problem is finding the challenge. DS was waitlisted for magnets in ES and MS, and I still think they would have been a better fit for him, because he is able to focus and complete work for stuff he's interested in much more easily (and isn't everyone?!). I would be wary of privates that aren't focused on learning disabilities. I don't think the same legal protections apply and it's my impression that regular private schools aren't as willing to work with accommodations (although I could be wrong about that). I know he will make it through ok; I just feel sad that he's not more inspired by learning at school.[/quote] I think that's the challenge (gift?) of raising a 2E. So much potential but inspiring the kid to get there is so much more of a challenge than for an NT kid. [/quote]
