[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any SN school requires reports from any psychologists/developmental pediatricians.

Siena doesn't start until the 4th grade.  Their website is sh*tty in regards to this basic information.

Technically Lab doesn't have a Kindergarten.  The lower school doesn't have grades but the entry level is technically a first grade due to zoning issues.  You could still apply, but they won't take a kid that needs a one-on-one aide.

You could try public with an IEP, Oakwood, Newton, Ivymount, or Auburn.  Public or Ivymount will be your best bet.

Truly your kid's behavioral issues are going be the guiding point of what school will take him.  Medicate, and even then or hope and pray some place will accept him.  With or without medication, until you have a handle on behavioral issues, it doesn't matter what the actual diagnosis is.[/quote]

We have a dev ped, but will wait to do a neuropsych until he is older. His diagnosis is ADHD, no speech delay, fine motor delay. We won't be able to medicate for some time due to medical issues, so I am not entirely sure what we are supposed to do.[/quote]
