[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer your question, two schools to tour would be maddux and harbor. Maddux offers support in speech and ot as part of their program, has small classes and is very structured. Harbor does not offer any support, but has small class sizes, uses many best teaching practices many parents would want to see in any classroom and is very nurturing.

Seeing the difference may help you clarify your vision for what your child needs. And then if you really like either or both, you need to decide if you can make the commute work for your family. [/quote]

As a former Harbor parent, I don't recommend them at all.  Yes, Harbor will take some kids with SNs (from everything to ADHD, Aspergers/ASD, to mild LDs) to keep up their class size, but they don't really have clue one about how to teach them even in small classes.   I'm still in touch with others parents who feel really let down by the school.  It's not nurturing either.  The teachers turn a blind eye to bullying unfortunately.  There's a new head, but these patterns seem entrenched from talking with parents who are still there and whose kids aren't SN.[/quote]
