Great Public School for ADHD

Hello! I'm looking for a way to find the best schools for kids with ADHD. Is there a great directory or .org where I can do research? We're in Chicagoland but are willing to move to the suburbs. Thank you.

I live near Atlanta and did a search for ADHD schools near me and found a couple. Most are private, but there are scholarships available. Also, is there a reason you feel you need a special school for your daughter? Under the ADA, children clinically diagnosed with a disability like ADHD are entitled to a free and appropriate public education. If your school district cannot provide that then they are responsible for covering the costs of having her go to a private school and are required to transport here to and from school.
