[quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm the PP who lives in DC and worked with Suzie. Regardless of whether Montessori is a good fit for your child, because you are in DC, this may not be a choice you get to make without a protracted battle. You can't just say, "I want my child to go to (fill in the blank) school" unless it is your in-bounds public school and your child is entering kindergarten or older. Apologies if that is remedial information for you; I couldn't get a good sense from your posts of how familiar you are with how DC schools work.

Also, the feedback you're getting from the PPs about structure is spot-on. My DC struggles mightily with transitions and hyperfocuses, which is precisely why DC needs structure.

I'll be candid, we are at a disadvantage being in DC with a special needs child. It can be done, but I strongly recommend you work with a consultant who can help you navigate the system and advocate for you. If you decide to look at independent schools, a good consultant can help you narrow that down, too.

I know firsthand how overwhelming all of this is. Hang in there.
