[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. DC does not need extra time on tests or assignments. Generally is an excellent test taker. The ADHD issues are more managing long term assignments and organization, although DC is doing much better in the last year with the organization. The anxiety tends to be more internal and the accommodations include having a safe location to go when feeling panicky or overwhelmed (usually the counselor or school psychologist's office ).

[b]To the PP who knows someone with a child with an IEP, do you know if they provide that sort of accommodation?[/b] [/quote]

Well, I do see a certain amount of crying in the counselor's office. But the ones I know with IEP/ disabilities dropped out. There are a few with mental illness (is that an IEP?) Its heartbreaking, but what can you do?[/quote]

Hi OP, this is the PP you were responding to. The one kid I know with an IEP for ADHD and organization has had a mixed experience depending on the teacher - some are very good about making sure the kid is keeping up with assignments while others have not. I know other kids at TJ with anxiety issues who have an open door to the counselor's office so I think your child could be accommodated that way.

Kudos to the other TJ parents who've responded - there's a lot of good, accurate info in this thread. I think you should let your child try TJ - it is not terribly difficult for him to go to his base high school if you decide TJ isn't the best for him. My son is blossoming socially and intellectually at TJ in a way that wouldn't have happened at his base school - I think the potential upside outweighs any downside.[/quote]
