[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are kids with ADHD at all the privates, but many off them were admitted before they had diagnoses. Realistically your chances of getting him into a competitive private are low. They are looking for kids who don't need extra attention/redirection from teachers. His chances of being admitted may go up in future years once his behavioral stuff is under control, he's on medication (if needed), and he has strong test scores/academics and other qualities that make him attractive to the school. But in early elementary classroom behavior is going to be weighed heavily, and it won't help him.[/quote] This. And publics, as far as I know, provide more supports and accommodations, if only because they are legally required to.[/quote]
