[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Siena only wants kids with dyslexia but as a parent with a kid there now, I can attest there are plenty of kids there with behavioral challenges. Whether it’s formal ASD, I don’t know, but we can’t wait to leave. Siena is going to have to do something soon to address its issues in this regard. They’ve grown and grown bringing in tuition money, but they need to start bringing in more staff who know how to manage the behavior and stop it, before it starts affecting the school’s reputation.

PP, if you see this, can you tell us more about Siena? For example, how many kids in your child's grade exhibit the marks of other co-existing diagnoses? How do you find classroom management, and is your child learning irrespective of others' behaviour?

We are considering moving our middle schooler who has dyslexia but no other diagnoses. We looked seriously at Lab last year, but I got gun shy at the idea of [b]50-60% of the class having other diagnoses[/b], many involving behavioral challenges. Lots of love and respect to those kids and parents, but my mind went to the other 40% who are there solely for dyslexia and wondered about their experiences and classroom management.

I'm a current Lab parent and the bolded above is bizarre to me. It sounds utterly delusional. Where on earth did you get that information? From the staff?[/quote]

Yes, said during an online open house. [/quote]

Most of those have ADHD which is very common among people with dyslexia.[/quote]
