[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here and thanks! Just curious, PP does you DC attend a private school and if so, are you comfortable disclosing which one? I am a bit concerned that my DS is not developing the tools he will need to handle his issues.[/quote]

He did - but switched to MoCo public GT/LD program in 3rd grade.  He's now in 5th grade, and will continue in public GT/LD for MS.  He has had an amazing teacher for three years who implements the tech supports.  He also got an iPad with a keyboard this year, which she has loaded with apps and software, including the graphic organizing tool by Inspiration and other educational software.  He uses it at school and home. We had to disable Safari and put a more restrictive search engine on to prevent him from accessing inappropriate material.  (we monitor his use, but we still found him surfing the web for all kinds of stuff).   We found Dragon to be less useful, but the Livescribe pen is wonderful. The school provided it, and he may get to use it next year.  All of this is included in his IEP as adaptive technology, and makes it much easier for him to access the curriculum.  He will probably leave the iPad at home next year, but use it for homework.  Depending on the school, you should be able to get this sort of assistance.  I know that Lab and Sienna provide adaptive technologies, and if you go public you can get an IEP and have those included. Although that is a entire thread in and of itself!
Hope that helps.[/quote]
