Wow, I don't remember that one? Which school is it? I think they probably want to know if your child is healthy in general and may be fishing for developmental issues - who knows. [ Reply | More

Ah, I remember the Bank Street application - it was absurd & I thought insulting. I didn't apply because of it. [ Reply | More

yes, they want to know if your child will need any special accomodations, but that might also include stuff like a peanut allergy. I would just answer "fine." If accepted, you can work to ensure that needs are met, but if DC really has special needs (not just developmental delays that are within the normal range and likely to evaporate over time) it's probably best to seek out schools that are geared to SN.
