Can we afford a SN private school? Could we get a scholarship for our son?

I think the best move for someone in your financial situation is to get the best IEP you can for your public school, make sure it is being followed and progress is being made, and spend your money on outside tutoring. This is one of the few situations where an advocate might be worth your while-someone good who knows what the school can do and can craft a strong IEP.

Advocate = waste of money in our experience (and we recognize it's just ours)

Ditto, and we tried several.

OP - College is a long way off, and you want to be sure your child is able to have that option so maybe forgo college savings right now and focus on paying any expected contribution to a SN school. Also, you might consider that in a couple of years your wife could be working again and depending on her field perhaps doing part-time and starting back sooner to make up the difference.

Strongly agree with this.
