[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We wanted access to a program (which exists and has space) that provides 30 hours of special education weekly. We were offered 2 hours of special education weekly, plus 30 min weekly with a speech language pathologist. When I pushed back, they said my son doesn’t need the hours. I pushed back-hard. I got my son the placement. Why do I feel bad, like I “got” something I shouldn’t have on the taxpayer’s dime, my kid isn’t THAT behind and I should have just taken what they offered and counted myself lucky? My kid is well suited for this program. Why am I being made to feel I did something wrong? Did I? Can anyone relate? [/quote] You should feel proud you successfully advocated for your kid. There is nothing to feel bad about. Your kid has a right to an appropriate education, and you, as the parent, are part of the team that decides what's appropriate. Congratulations![/quote]
