[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child graduated from WL they had an IEP since K, pretty high needs. To gibe you an idea, on medication there was still difficulty remembering steps to long math problems, although routinely practiced since elementary school. My child's self esteem was incredibly low and he suffered bullying and academic trauma from the lack of support provided by WL. He is basically illiterate and never wants to look at Math. The school was barely in compliance for his IEP. APS does the BARE minimum even with the most needy students. Most teachers and counselors only care about the AP/IB students.

Take your child to a private school, perhaps WL will provide services to your child if your child advocates for herself. Even if you get an IEP/ 504 (and you won't) they will barely comply with it. Every teacher is too burdened with their caseload. Your child will be placed in a cohort with high needs kids and pulled away from already established relationships.

If your childs main issue is organization, that requires consistency at home, the school can support. Get a checklist, have consequences for not cleaning up, turning items in and organizing their book bag. All assignments and notes in WL are on Canvas and turned in on Canvas so that really helps.

On another note, I do know some students that were 2E that were successful at WL but they were ED, not ADHD. Remember, the people who implement the 504 or IEP are overworked and many times out of compliance.
