[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To clarify...Deiner, Maddox, and Kingsbury are not schools for kids with ED.   They are less mainstream then other schools mentioned in this post but are an excellent fit for many many kids......[/quote]

They are for LDs and there is nothing wrong with that. EDs vary. If a child has a lot of anxiety sometimes schools like this can be a good match. ADHD is not an ED the way say Conduct Disorder is.

I venture to say EVERY private school in the DC metro area has at least a few kids with ADHD, it's a matter of degree of ADHD.

OP to help we would need to know more. For example at Heights, Landon, etc.  kids usually score in the above average on up for IQ scores, though there are kids with average IQ scores. I am not saying I endorse the use of IQ scores, but some kids with ADHD do not do well on them and/or are harder to test than others. Also, most kids at these schools have at least average social skills (some kids with ADHD don't, though some have great social skills).

What class size are you looking for? What are your child's strengths and weaknesses? Are there sensory issues? Is there any comorbid issue such as anxiety or depression or behavioral issues?[/quote]
