[quote=Anonymous]We have a good story...so far! DS received DX in 6th grade (after nightmare first semester in large public MS) of slow processing, ADHD inattentive, writing processing disorder and moved to private SN school for 7th and 8th. More than anything he wanted to go to a large HS with major sports program since sports is what he does beat. Private SN school was wonderful about completing recs for new private but cautioned us several times that DS would struggle if not fail without all the SN supports. The school knew him well and we had a plan b to return to SN private school if necessary. DS just finished first semester at WCAC catholic HS and is a B- mostly student but is so very socially fulfilled. For him, maturity and willingness to work with a tutor twice a week to get ahead of the work ha made the difference. One of the many wonderful things that SN private did for DS was to teach him to understand himself WF that it will likely take him extra time to think about a response before he writes it and that he needs a ton or repetition to memorize vocab. Also he does a lot of his studying with a ball in his hand because the fidgets free his mind to focus on a task.[/quote]
