[quote=Anonymous]My son sounds very similar to yours (and the same age with the same issues in public school).  He started the Newton School last September and we've seen dramatic positive changes both at school and at home.  Although, as one poster suggests, the changes may not be readily obvious as far as social affectations (although, those have improved as well), the real issue is his executive functioning (impulsivity, over reactivity, etc.) and improving executive functioning on a daily basis is just something we felt we couldn't get from public school, even with an IEP.   I could go on at length about how happy we are at Newton and my only regret is that we didn't enroll him earlier before his self esteem took such a hit.  You are more than welcome to contact me directly if you'd like to hear more details about our experience.  I also strongly encourage you to visit the school and speak with Allison Abraham to see for yourself how much they "get it."  My son simply is happier now and loves going to school, which is a huge change for us.[/quote]
