If your child got accepted to the Sinai program, but the lawyer who got matched up with you to fight the BOE to cover tuition determines there's no case, what are the options? Public school is not an option and neither is paying full tuition. Any mainstream high schools (not in Brooklyn) that can tolerate high functioning ASD, ADHD (medicated), have small classes? No diagnosed learning disability, but needs lower level tracked class. Living in NJ if that makes a difference.

I would start by going back to Sinai and telling them the lawyer said no case. Do they recommend a different lawyer? Do they have any ideas for you? Speak with them first.
Wishing you mazel and success in finding (and paying for) the right school and much nachas from your child.

Of course we are in touch with Sinai, but I'm looking for people who might have been in a similar situation. Asking for another lawyer is an interesting idea. Thanks!

Regular MTA or their Ptach program? Ptach isn't a good fit

Has he ever gone to public school?
Because from the perspective of the BOE, if you think he needs special education services they're going to want to do their testing to determine if you're correct and they're also going to want to be given the opportunity to give your son FAPE.
I'm speaking as a Sinai mom and a special education teacher (I work for NYC) My son is in 12th and started Sinai in 6th.
Feel free to ask questions here or pm me 😀

He is really good. He's the lawyer we used initially but be prepared to feel anxious when speaking to him. He's very curt and short. Doesn't want any explanations for anything. Will interrupt and say "Mrs. Xx yes or no"
I got off the phone literally shaking so many times after speaking with him.

Are you looking for only programs in NJ or NY or are you looking into high school yeshivas in other places? If there are no learning disabilities involved, are you exploring mainstream yeshivas (outside of the NJ/NY or even East Coast area) that may have options for the ADHD, etc. you describe? Feel free to private message me (you can get the info. to do so from Yael), I may have some suggestions if you are interested in places out-of-state. Also, when you say paying full tuition is not an option, I assume you are referring to special-ed specific (ie Sinai program) costs vs (as another poster suggested) MTA (ie mainstream yeshiva tuition), the prices do differ, but there are still costs.
Good luck in your searching.
