[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a rising 5th grader with  significant LDs: his most recent neuropsych eval cited Executive Functioning Disorder, Auditory Processing Disorder, Expressive/Receptive Language Disorder, Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, and attention issues (they are not sure if it's true ADD or trouble with attention b/c of the severity and scope of the LDs). He is a lovely, polite, and bright child (no emotional, behavioural issues) but the extent to which his LDs affect his ability to learn means that he has not been accepted at Lab or Oakwood.

We recently found out that the Arrowsmith Program - which, given its grounding in neuroplasticity principles and rate of success in overcoming (not just accommodating) LDs, is ideal for our son - is being offered by Eukarya Christian Academy in Stephens City, VA beginning this fall. It's the only Arrowsmith program offered in the metro DC area.  [If interested in more info on Arrowsmith, here's the link: [url]http://www.arrowsmithschool.org/arrowsmithprogram/index.html. The website includes research studies done by outside parties on the efficacy of the program.}

The problem is, of course, the driving distance to Stephens City (we can't, at this time, make a move closer to the school).  We were wondering if there were other families in NoVa or in the metro DC area for whom traditional LD programs haven't worked and who would be interested in forming a driving pool or hiring a shuttle service?  Please send me a note at this email if interested: sailor.blue@outlook.com.  Thanks.

Not to  change this thread, but may I ask where do you get your neuropysch done?  Sounds like they did a great job teasing out strengths/weaknesses?
Thanks
