[quote=Anonymous]My son is in the 4th  grade in a great public school. But he has an IEP and an aid also. He has significant ADHD and sensory challenges. He is on medication but it helps only minimally. He has a hard time making friends. He's very, very bright. But he has zero motivation. He sometimes presents as an autistic child because he seems to not notice or understand how people  feel toward him. He acts goofy, makes noises in the classroom, bothers other children and keeps trying to them during work time. But many times he is extremely perceptive, keenly aware of how people feel about him. He has a couple of friends. These friends are children who also has IEP. Other children don't seem to want to play with him.

If you were to talk to the teachers, their biggest challenges with my son is lack of motivation and rigidity. We were thinking of placing him at the Newton School. What have yo heard about this school? If your children go there, what improvement have you seen?  We were hoping that after two years at the Newton School, he can be mainstreamed again. [/quote]
