Maddux is not a special needs school.  It is accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education. They provide a state approved non special ed program.  They do offer supports such as OT and ST for those who need them.  This school often gets confused as special ed, b/c it's housed in the same location as Ivymount, which is special ed.  You may want to check out the Maddux school website.  My DC would need the assistance they provide (built in) with social pragmatics and self regulation--which is often an issue for ADHD kids.

How can you say Maddux is not a special needs school?  Many SN schools are accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education.  That makes them eligible for nonpublic placements if the school district cannnot meet the child's needs within their ouw schools and special programs.  Built-in assistance for social pragmatics and self regulation makes it a school for children who struggle with those issues, therefore making them children with special needs.  Are you worried about your child being labeled as special needs?[/quote]
