If mild, most privates can accommodate—look for those with learning centers vs just one learning specialist. Flint Hill might be a good option.

My ADHD son has done very well at McLean. It has sports every day, flexible seating, teachers include mindfulness in the classroom, and it has a small ratio to help keep kids focused productively. For us, it has been a very good school and fit.

NO. Not at all appropriate for the student the OP described. Siena is only for language-based learning differences. Do not equate "SN school" with "appropriate for every student with SNs" please.
It also doesn't start until 4th grade.
Siena VA campus starts at 3rd grade, and Silver Spring campus is opening 3rd grade for 2024-2025
Siena is for kids with dyslexia.

If it is mild and your kid just needs a simple accommodation like extra time, then any private will work.

Depending on the amount of support you need, most schools will accommodate mild ADHD and/or executive function. Just reach out and ask admissions.
