[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread bothers me quite a bit with the whole hierarchy of special needs behavioral issues. Maddux is generally considered off limits on here for kids with severe adhd because they are just too disruptive. But a child who literally needs frequent one on one attention for melt downs and anxiety is somehow less disruptive. It’s this whole odd ranking based on what is harder for teachers to controls kids that internalize and shut down are generally easier to manage I suppose. It also feels quite gender specific. It is what it is, I just think the whole system is unfairly biased against boys with hyperactive - very - adhd. [/quote]

I'm the one who said Maddux was SN lite and I agree.  We were asked not to return to Maddux.  I've posted on this forum on other Maddux threads and I know from personal experience that they don't want to deal with behavior cases, they want quirky, smart kids with mild needs.  When we were there I was really hard pressed to see what the issues were with other students and that was after lots of time spent at birthday parties and with other families.  Notice that nobody ever mentions Mclean?  That's supposedly an SN school but it's so "lite" that it hardly ever figures on this board.[/quote]
