[quote=Anonymous]Come to MD! I teach special ed in MCPS. I've had students with Tourettes. My middle school admin never blinked an eye at their diagnoses or made a big deal about it. Yes, a couple kids asked the students about some of their tics (most commonly between the two I've had loud squeals, guttural exclamations, head twitches, and a couple others at times), and within a week they were ignoring it. It was as commonplace as the girl who smacked her gum, or the boy who tapped his feet, etc. Some people will diss MCPS, but I think you'll get a better shot for your kid (or try public in Virginia, or DC, or where ever you live). Unfortunately, the PP's are right; SN private schools are typically geared for kids with academic/social/behavioral deficits. It doesn't sound like your child meets that criteria. You might try a "regular" private school or religious one that will provide the academic enrichment your child needs. Good luck![/quote]
