[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your list is very unrealistic. I don't think you will find a good fit at any of those places. It you have a very specific and not common situation I think public can often accommodate better and the staff have much more training and education in the area of special needs.
 Such extreme low muscle tone to the degree that it has effected so many areas is a special need. I think for her early years as she continues to make strides you should either, go public for the reasons mentioned above or look into Lowell, Sheridan(on your list already), Norwood, NPS, Harbor and St Andrews. The others aren't likely to happen and I don't think you'll be happy there. [b]We know a family who had to leave sidwell after 3rd grade because their child developed a health issue that sidwell simply did not know what to do about in needs of support even though the family was being very helpful and proactive in providing resources. These schools are really not for special needs kids, even if the child is cognitively fine[/b].[/quote]

Wow. That’s pretty sad that SFS couldn’t step up for one of their students.[/quote]

We pulled our kid out of Sidwell for a similar reason. The school was mystified by our insistence on leaving but they really don’t know what they don’t know. We are so glad we got out of there.[/quote]

This is a typical experience even in good private schools. Not a knock on any one. They are all struggling to become more accommodating but it's a culture change and there is a lot of internal resistance to it.[/quote]
