[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But were any admitted where the school knew they had ADHD when they were offered a spot?  Or are these student who were admitted without a diagnosis and only received one after they were already attending the school?  Is anyone able to answer this question?[/quote]

We are not at a big 3 but another private that is known for not being able to handle ADHD well.  With my admissions application I sent in the neuropschyc.  It's not fair to either the child or the school to spring a dx on them if you already have it.  My child was admitted.  Before accepting, I sat down with the school to review what accommodations they would be able to provide.  Prior to the start of the actual school year, we met as a team once again to discuss changes over the summer.  It's been 2 years and my child is thriving.

You want to put your child in an environment that nurtures them and can adjust to their learning differences.  Withholding valuable information like a dx puts everyone at a disadvantage.[/quote]

We did the exact same thing at a big 3 and it has worked out really well so far. I think they appreciate having all of the information, and I didn't want my child to attend a school that wouldn't be a good fit. We are also not an important family fwiw. [/quote]
