[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  I'm aware of McLean, Maddux and Diener and Kingsbury.  What mainstream schools are out there in Montgomery County or DC that would be one to look at for an adhd child who needs small class size and structure.  I had heard that Bullis can now accomodate  children who need more than the average child, but I've only heard this (no real experience myself).[/quote]

You come off as pretty demanding and lacking grace.  I'll tell you how I found the best fit (for this year anyway) for my ADHD child and I will tell you it didn't involved getting someone else to do the work for me.  Every ADHD kid is different.  There are types of ADHD, and a myriad of factors that impact best fit.  You know what I did? I got up off my butt and visited a whole lot of schools multiple times so I could know what fit my child best.  I started two years before I needed a school and I visited 20'schools! Yes, 20.  Some of them multiple times. Some of them I fled from.  I did due diligence because my child's welfare means the world to me.  We applied to mainstream and more specialized private and DC was accepted to both.  Then we made a decision knowing that we don't have a manic crystal ball.  How about doing the same for your own kid? [/quote]

[b]Who peed in your Wheaties this morning? You do realize OP posted her question in 2012, right?

These threads are very helpful for other parents. Most people don't have the free time to tour 20
schools. [b]I have a child with ED type issues and it is helpful to know not to waste my precious time and
even more precious emotional energy on schools that would never consider my child.[/quote][/b]

Well put, and that's what this forum is for - for parents to help other parents do their best to raise children with special needs.[/quote]
