The Arrowsmith School uses a proprietary neuro-scientific program for remediation of learning disabilities. The goal of the school is to be able to return students to a main-stream public or private institution after several years of closely supervised instruction.

Forman School, Litchfield, CT

I have a soft spot for Forman and I will make that disclaimer up front. When I lived in Litchfield County in the 1980's, I counted several faculty and students as friends. It is about as fine a school as you could hope to find for students who have learning differences. The setting just north of the Litchfield village green is quite picturesque. While Forman's tariff is one of the highest in the business, the old saying "You get what you pay for" applies.More »
