3) You might look at faith based options.  In this area, both the Catholic Church and some of the Jewish schools, have a commitment to supporting all learners.  As far as Catholic schools in MD, Brookewood (very small, very Catholic), Holy Child, and Holy Cross all have relatively wide definitions of who they accept and serve.  For other jurisdictions and religions/denominations I can't give specific denominations, but it's worth exploring.

4) You might look at some of the very small schools in the area.  Nora School is one that I've heard good things about, and that seems to accept a variety of students.  New School of Northern Virginia is another to explore.

Holy Child would [b]not[/b] be a good option for your dd.  Even though they have a "program" for students with learning differences, it is best for girls with ADHD or an extremely mild LD who need extended time.  They offer extended time and kurzweil for texts but they really don't understand kids with significant issues. The course work is very traditional and requires a lot of memorization that would not play to your DD's strengths.  I am speaking from experience with this school.

If you are in Montgomery County, I urge you to contact your local high school.  MCPS offers many different tracks for students and the special ed teachers have worked with students like your daughter. There are multiple options to fulfill the foreign language requirement (sign language, no language).  They offer work internships and as other posters have said, classes with support. You can go on a tour and your daughter can spend a day at the local high school.
