No regrets here! The cost is life changing though.

We’re thinking of doing this. Does your child know you’re thinking of making this change? Is he or she on board? We’re really worried that the loss of friendships will be traumatic.

Op here - Dd is on board - says it will be fine and could see her school friends at other times. I don't think she realizes how it will change things.

Had a (for our school) great iep but kid felt dumb compared to classmates which lead to giving up and no longer trying in school. Private has been an amazing turn around for him. We try to see old friends once in a while but new friends are even better because they get him and understand him because they feel the same.

We switched DS from a public with a healthy iep to a SN private and have never been happier.

Op here - would you mind sharing what factors make you happier at the SN private ?

DP. My kid was happier and less stressed. She's naturally a people pleaser and she was internalizing failure as her fault.

Op here - Thanks for input. Would you say that the kids are more accepting and less "mean" at the SN school ? I guess probably school dependent but that's one of my daughter's issues with public.

Mean kids exist everywhere, unfortunately. From my experience, sn schools are more attuned to it.
