[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC just had a neuro psych evaluation for ADHD.  He tested highly gifted/gifted in several areas and struggles in a couple areas.  He’s currently in a Montessori school but that school goes to 3rd grade. The school has been perfect for him.

We are completely lost as to what to do next as for schooling.  We are considering a public school but want to ensure it has the necessary infrastructure to support him via the twice exceptional program (or GT/LD).

We would consider private but $$ is a factor and I’m not sure if they have the resources to provide special education services.

Anyone have a good online resource to help me navigate this?  Appreciate any help.

Montessori is very flexible which seems to match with your child. Some kids if given that flexibility will do nothing but it seems like your kid works well that way. I suspect public school may be too rigid so keep that possibility in mind. The teachers expect you to do what they want at the moment they want it and it can be really hard for a lot of 2e kids to be micromanaged that way when they are not inspired.[/quote]
