[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve worked in several DC-area private schools. I can assure you that they all have many ADHD students, sometimes as much as 25 percent of the student population. Some schools offer extensive accommodations and design a curriculum that helps neurodivergent kids as well as neurotypical children to be as successful as possible. Other schools will only offer preferential seating and extended time on formal assessments. You have to know your child, know what recommendations your child’s care team recommends, and know the school to navigate it well.

As for “permanent record,” please don’t worry about that. ADHD is a medical diagnosis, so schools cannot share it with anyone without your consent. When the diagnosis is documented, teachers are more likely to communicate about effective interventions and accommodations that worked for your child. This means greater consistency and support between academic subjects and when your child advances to the next grade.[/quote]

Would you be willing to share which schools are the ones you mention in terms of being really good at designing an accessible curriculum? You can imagine how much that advice would help my child and many of us…[/quote]
