need help finding a school! My son is 12 with signif ADHD (combined type) and Learning language disabilities. He's bright, kind and strategic, but he has a hard time with peers. we have been given approval for an out of district placement but I can't find a school that's a good fit. I want part therapeutic and part academic but finding like this is a unicorn. we are in NJ (union county). We've looked at Winston Prep (loved, but he is too hyper), Barnstable Academy (loved but too far), Calais (tour next week) - thoughts?
