[quote=Anonymous]Op, what kinds of support does your child need?

I have a DC with dyslexia, ADHD, and dysgraphia at a mainstream independent k-8 and they are very explicitly teaching executive function skills. I am really pleased with how DC is learning how to write down homework assignments, taught note taking, study methods, etc. We will support at home, but the school is teaching the skills.

DC’s dyslexia is mild so DC is able to manage school work, although we anticipate excusing from foreign language requirement in high school.

DC is a motivated student who currently mostly needs extra time on standardized tests. The small size of the school and study hall in middle school allows DC to catch up with teachers or get extra help as needed. We anticipate doing mainstream independent school for high school - Bullis is definitely on our list, as we have friends with kids there with ADHD who are doing well. We are not looking at Catholic schools (and we are Catholic) because the k-8 schools came across as being more rigid when we were looking for K, and we aren’t looking for high school either.
