[quote=Anonymous]Our DC was in public school in Arlington for many years and we then applied to Lab, where DC's been ever since. DC (dyslexia and ADHD) was floundering despite an IEP. Basically, all the wealthy school districts in this area (MoCo, Fairfax, Arlington) do the minimum for kids with this kind of profile. It's sad because the money is there - think of all the innovative programs our local school systems have for what I've started calling the "Educational 1%." Schools like Lab, Commonwealth Academy, Oakwood, and Sienna (to name a few area privates for kids with LDs or ADHD) basically provide the type of quality, innovative education that local schools provide for non-disabled kids but don't make available for kids with dyslexia. It's been eye-opening. Grateful that DC was able to get into a private knowledgeable about how to educate kids with this profile (ADHD and/or dyslexia). DC is happy and so are we.[/quote]
