[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for the replies.  I posted here because my son is definitely SN - but we think he needs typical peer models and the academic rigor of mainstream schools.  Who knows what will happen, though.[/quote]

OP - we used to say/think the same thing...We wanted nothing more than for our DS to have typical peers and and rigorous academic model but his disabiities get in the way of that happening right now.  When DS was 6 he was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive), processing/exec funtioning issues. The exec functioning is actually the disability that is keeping him out of privates. Each of the schools the PPs suggested said NO to us - with the exception of Maddux which we never applied to. Not for any particular reason except maybe we got tired of doors being slammed in our faces.

We were so hung up of the mainstream label that it got in the way of his ability to get help and succeed. One of the other PPs said it exactly. If you ever want your son to truly be in a mainstream environment get him all the help he needs NOW- even if it means special ed. and it may not in your case but don't turn your back on that option.

DS is now 9 and in MoCo public. He has an IEP, and NEEDS quite a bit of academic support. he is smart but his disabilities get in the way so much so that he comes across as much less than bright.  its a process, sometimes we laugh and sometime we cry.

good luck[/quote]
