We live in Little Rocky Run.

Union Mill ES is a great school.

Good luck! [/quote]

NP here, I actually had more trouble with Union Mill when my daughter was there.  I had neuropysch and NIH ADHD study papers that both recommended an IEP for my child and had to fight tooth and nail just to get a 504 plan.  They pretty much just wanted to say that they are aware now and they would work with the teachers to help her but didn't want to make anything formal.

We moved (not just for this) to a different cluster and it's been so much better working with the team on her 504.  Although they still don't see the need for an IEP, but they are at least very good about prompt meetings and are accommodating on the 504 as well as just plain nicer.

Curious to know where you are now, although moving is an unlikely option.  My son scores well in some areas - 99+ percentile perceptual reasoning - math is great, good vocab - but his working memory really drags him down.  Comprehension takes a hit, for sure, but he already scored on DRA at benchmark for end of this year - not entirely sure how he did that, since a different, more recent test shows his understanding (retelling?) of paragraphs at 9th percentile.  He has the official ADD diagnosis and APD diagnosis.

Discouraging to think that they are only interested in getting kids to benchmark.  He will "code" or regress without some help and accommodations.  I'm willing to pay for private language - can't believe accommodations would be that difficult.  I'll try to be positive (but look outside as well)  Any suggestions for private schools in Western FFX county for a kid like this, I'd appreciate.  Thanks!![/quote]
