[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi I just saw this threat. I wonder what type of kids are in the school? My son, 8 years old, has ADHD and suspected mild ASD (but might be just severe ADHD with sensor issues). 2 grade levels below in reading and writing, and visual-spatial issues, currently assessed with dyslexia and disgraphia. The school is far from DC, but so it's Diener School and McLean School. Are the school buss or car pooling done from DC?[/quote]

I would avoid Diener. I don't have personal experience but I've spoken to ed consultant and they just do not have a strong academic program. [/quote]

I mean, a lot of these kids aren’t strong academically, so your point isn’t well taken. [/quote]

I’m talking about method of instruction and whether they are skilled at scaffolding appropriately to the kids level. This is the opinion of an Ed consultant that I am offering as I said I don’t have personal experience. Please be kind, we are all trying to help each other.[/quote]

Then be kind about the school. It clearly works for some kids. Don’t come on here with the opinion of an “anonymous Ed consultant” and slam it. That’s just straight up an attack unsupported. We like Diener and it’s met my child where he is academically which is behind. If your child is not academically behind, I doubt you would be considering KTS. It’s a very small school community and the options are limited. Don’t denigrate them on a public forum. [/quote]

NP.  Start a Diener thread then.[/quote]

Did you read the thread? This post is in response to a post criticizing Diener. [u]You’re[/u] post makes no sense.[/quote]

I did.  The entire thread.  Response made sense.   Start a new post if you need to continue to talk about how much you like Diener.

Also, it's "your" not "you're."[/quote]

You’re an idiot. There you go. The actual question was about diener.[/quote]

The question to which the responses re diener were directed, that is. And nobody said they liked it so much. There are limited options for kids with needs severe enough to be at these schools. Even fewer when the needs are at a KTS level. That’s the reality. You may not like the academic program but we’re all making do. [/quote]
