[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the smaller feel of Hearst.  I know families at Janney who are looking for other options.

Also - if there is any chance that your child has a learning difference (Adhd, dyslexia) the Janney is known for being horrible.  Their head of Special Needs does things her way and no one (not even teachers) will challenge her.  [/quote]

I have a child with an IEP at Janney and our experience has been positive. The student support staff that my child is actually working with is great.[/quote]
The staff is good (OT/Speech etc)- they really try to help the child.
The Student Support Services Coordinator has a reputation.  [/quote]

I know she does, but we have found her supportive as well. Not everybody has problems with her, and it hasn't affected my child's experience. I understand others may have different experiences, but I also get the impression that there are some people on this forum who are out to get back at her.[/quote]
It is not personal. It is about fully understanding the landscape.  
There are many parents in the community who went in thinking the stories were due to difficult parents only to learn that was not the case.  
The harm done to the students goes beyond their days at Janney.  [/quote]
