[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who posted here with kids in public/504s, which publics were these that your kids were successful in? We have a similar kid and are trying to decide between [b]public with accommodations versus private (like McLean).[/quote][/b]

If you can get an IEP in public (and that's a very big "if" on an ADHD only diagnosis [are there any other comorbidities?]) then public can be a terrific way to go.  504s tends to get lost in the dust.  Others may report other experiences in fCPS but ours was good at the high school level with an IEP, but DS had Aspergers.  Most children on the spectrum should be receiving an IEP from FCPS.  It's free, there is team-teaching, there are even AP courses for the twice exceptional kids and I learned today on this site that FCPS is experimenting with a fifth year for spectrum kids (I begged them for a fifth year for my spectrum kid but they laughed me out of the room).  Now I'm paying full frieght at a college for courses DC could have taken free during a fifth year at a public.[/quote]
