[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, it's unlikely that any private school will take him. There just aren't any private schools that serve this population. My kid is similar but much older now. My advice: 1. Medicate. He can't learn skills (or academics) when dysregulated. 2. Get him OT out of school. 3. Fight for accommodations in public. Give it some time. For my kid, the beginning of the year is a CF. Then it gets better for 2nd & 3rd quarter. Then kid burns out towards the end of the year. Rinse and repeat. But each year does get a little easier, on average. The extra year of preschool is not a bad idea. Do a TON of OT during that year. [/quote] And get the parent training for ADHD kids. Helped a ton so we could get him regulated. [/quote]
