Dr. Edward M. Hallowell, a former instructor at the Harvard Medical School, one of the foremost experts on ADHD in the world, and the founder of the Hallowell Center for Emotional and Cognitive Health, was invited by the Eagle Hill School in Hardwick, Massachusetts to deliver this year’s graduation speech. (March 2, 2011 – Eagle Hill School does not have the speech posted to their website anymore, but you can read the text on Dr. Hallowell’s web site, and you can watch the video on vimeo.)
According to the school’s web site “Eagle Hill School is a private co-educational college preparatory boarding school for students with learning disabilities in grades 8-12. Specific learning differences include: Dyslexia, Language Based Learning Disability, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Nonverbal Learning Disability. [...] Eagle Hill School is the preeminent private high school for students with learning disabilities and ADHD who demonstrate average to above average cognitive ability.”
If I read the information on the web site correctly, the school serves 150 students. Their tuition is $51,692 (day tuition is $36,586).
In addition, from early July through early August, Eagle Hill runs a five-week academic and recreational summer camp for students ages 10-18 who have been diagnosed with specific learning (dis)abilities and/or Attention Deficit Disorder. The tuition for the summer camp is $6,888.
