My daughter, was diagnosed with a Non-verbal Learning Disability and sensory intergration issues too. After much work we have put together a great team of people to help her. She goes to the Grace School as a typical child. I love, love, love Meeting Street School. They get it and have really done an excellent job supporting her social needs while making sure she is challanged academically. The continuity of care and communication between staff member is outstanding. If your child is having issues I highly reccomend this school and the support services it provides. Check it out!

This type of information is priceless. I have been struggling to support my daughter who has ADHD (and other issues) and it has been an odyssey trying to determine the right strategy, find the right professionals and manage her situation in school. It is great to have another mom extend a hand in helping and supporting. I'm looking forward to future posts. I would also love to compare notes directly about schools if you are open to that.
