[quote=Anonymous][quote=I would also say look into Harbor, Primary Day, Oneness, Lowell, Sheridan, or McLean, which are not specifically special needs schools but can be accommodating.[/quote] I can only speak to what Lowell is like and I would say that it is not a good fit for an ADHD child that needs a lot of structure, especially at the K level. There are many transitions during the day and that can be hard on non-ADHD kids, and they increase quite a lot as the grades go up. A lot of moving from one task to another, one special to another, one location to another throughout the day ...I know former Lowell families where their child with ADHD did much better when they entered MCPS because the structure was more rigid and easier to follow. I also know from experience that Lowell is not that good about implementing accommodations, they may promise more than they can deliver because they are *not* a school aimed at addressing kids with special needs.
