[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the replies!  
So far, we are looking at schools that I have heard at least one success story either through our Dev. Ped, ABA consultant, or friends.  Currently on our list:
St. Patricks
Burgundy Farms
Alexandria Country Day
Congressional School of VA
McLean School
Potomac School
Flint Hill
We cut out Sheridan and Lowell.
I am open to other suggestions and I understand we are ALL OVER the place, but really want to cast our net wide to try to find a good fit as best we can.[/quote]

From your list, I would recommend to stay away from Burgundy Farms if your child doesn't know how to self-regulate himself, is hyperactive or too sensory.  They have a great nature environment for the kids but not too much structure.  I have two children, one SN and one NT.  We used to live in ALexandria for a while and visited Burgundy Farms.  While they did offer us a spot for both kids, we felt they were not strong enough academically and their organization was too fluffy. We ended up attending a public school and were very happy.

I do, however, recommend Congressional School.  These guys are tough and will work with therapists to put together a good set of strategies to work with your child.  [/quote]
