Doesn't matter if none of the schools who take public placements are a good fit though.

We did that and they did a shitty job. Had to get it redone--$$$. The Speech-language testing was fine, but the academic testing was terrible.

I don't think other school districts are much better. Her best option was to go private no matter where they live.
