NYC High School
Sorry to keep being a post hog, but I don't seem to think of all my questions at once......
Does any one know of a high school in NYC that meets the following criteria:
1 - gifted and talented
2 - willing and able to deal competently with a child with behavioral and motivational issues related to her brain dysfunction (my new word for mental illness)
3 - all girls (to reduce the likelyhood of shananigans)
I would settle for 2 of the 3 with the first 2 being the bigger priorities. Ideally I would like a public school, but I figure since I am going through the IEP process now, I may as well look at everything so I can guide the results to what I want.
Thanks.

Jerry Pavlon-Blum, M.A. is on the CABF board of directors and he is in NYC and may have some ideas for you.
One way of accessing him that I found is through the Gateway School:
