For next year, is private school a possibility at all? I have found several schools in my area that are very tolerant of ADHD kids.
The first one, I found by chance. I was looking for a school that would challenge my kids more. The school individualized each student's learning mostly for kids with learning disabilities, but it worked for my kids, too. Later, when one of mine had some special circumstances resulting in a need for accommodations herself, the school was very willing to help. Most of the kids there did not have learning issues, but there were a substantial number that did.
My daughter aged out of that school, but I found two more at the high school level. The first one didn't work for her because there were too many difficult child's with serious problems and that stressed her out. The second one has never said that they are a place for kids with ADHD but my daughter tells me there are a number of kids that clearly have it, there. Sometimes, the teacher sends them out for a run to burn off their excess energy.
These schools emphasize their small classes and their individualized learning. There might be a school in your area that is more accommodating than you would think.
I don't have much experience with trying to get a public school to accommodate my kids. When I tried, I was not successful and we quickly decided to not battle with them and try private schools instead. It really was just luck that we ended up at the very accommodating one because we had no idea we would eventually need that.
