[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS has ADHD. He requires few accommodations but when he was in private school, it was harder to get them.

The W schools are good at helping all kinds of kids - private is not usually built for that. [/quote]

My son was at Churchill where they routinely denied his accommodations. The last straw is when they withdrew his text to speech accommodation simply because his disability was not diagnosed as a SLD even though his disability impacted his ability to comprehend when reading but not when listening.

The main streamed private school we moved him to reviewed his testing data and followed the expert recommendations for appropriate accommodations. The written plan developed at our one meeting was then implemented across all classes. The private school even helped with getting my son approved for his accommodations on the ACT including extended time and testing over multiple days as well as testing accommodations from the College Board for his AP exams.

The switch from Churchill to private was a stretch financially but necessary for my son to access an appropriate educational environment.[/quote]
