[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean parent here. I think you should seriously consider McLean. They have added direct teaching of executive function skills in their curriculum.  Explicitly teaching these skills are more meaningful and useful than just receiving accommodations. My son has had a lot of help with executive functioning in the form of organizing ideas before writing and his work has really improved. Personally I have found that a lot of privates want to appear accommodating and open to all kids, but they are not really. Make sure your observations match their sales' pitches. It's only my opinion, but if you are looking for an individualized learning environment with really smart, special education type teachers, I would consider McLean.[/quote]

+1 on the privates that "want to appear accommodating but they're not" --- smile and nod sympathetically when you're describing DC challenges pre-enrollment and describe as "lacking responsibility" post-enrollment. Sigh.[/quote]
