[quote=Anonymous]Had a nephew at McLean and a neighbor at Commonwealth. We visited both and liked both. My sense was commonwealth worked with moderate to mild LD while McLean worked with mild. Unforuntately, due to unforeseen financial issues (medical) we had to go with public school and that worked out. As an educator who has also worked in administration I can tell you no school is allowed to diagnose your child. Asperger's/high functioning autism is/are pretty easy for school personnel to detect when they see your child day after day, but they are not really allowed to say it. Even school counselors are now allowed to give a diagnosis. Plus, it is a loaded diagnosis. People go to great lengths to avoid the label, insisting the child has ADHD, anxiety, language issues, etc so it's best to look at symptoms and address them and let outside professionals diagnose.[/quote]
