[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  These school recommendations are very helpful and constructive.   thank you !

DS is actually doing fairly well and we've managed to maintain a civil tone, my posts notwithstanding.  He has had a neuropsych assessment done in the past. We've proposed strategies that have been effective on the classroom. Peace reigns at least outwardly.  The school has been open to suggestions which is why we are looking for someone with experience reaching boys.  His teachers are also crazy about him personally.

I don't see how someone can be an effective educational psychologist or neuro unless they have expertise in teaching and classroom   management.  Otherwise how can teachers translate any of this into effective teaching. Specifically in our case, teaching boys.

The issue is that we see this as a pedagogical issue not really a question that needs to be pathologized.  It may well be time to consider a more suitable school. I don't want accommodations when what is needed is more effective teaching.  He is not at any of the schools identified here.

I would be very interested in hearing about folks experience in all boys schools.  We have come to see gender differences as a major part of the issue.   [/quote]
