[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how Bullis/McLean/St Andrews handle kids who need extra support due to ADD or mild LDs?

My DD is in the same boat as OPs. At her current school, accomodations are strictly informal: if she didn't finish a test, for instance, she can finish at lunchtime, but accommodations are not integrated into the classroom and there is no "pullout" individual or small group tutoring. Kids who need tutoring must get it at home with private tutors, and teachers vary in the degree to which they seem clued in or sympathetic to DD's issues. (Some totally get it and work hard to help; others are uninterested and make no changes). Overall she has done pretty well, but would probably do better in a school where learning support is not such an alien concept.

But wondering if Bullis/McClean/St A's are schools that are seen as good for kids like this just because they are small and warm, or if they have more specific programs or interventions to support kids with LDs...?[/quote]
