[quote=Anonymous]My oldest (now in 3rd) and my youngest (rising K) sound like your DS.  Prior to his diagnosis and development of IEP in K, my oldest also struggled and since he internalizes things rather than acting out, the school declined to evaluate even though we had numerous private evaluations documenting delays and challenges.  Having said that, once we were able to get them evaluate (thanks to our 'consultant') and got a good IEP in place, DS1  has done very well.  About half his time is in special ed classes and the other have in general ed.  The teachers are very good with him and use appropriate instruction.  DS2 has more challenges than DS1 and has been in a FCPS special ed preschool for the past two years (in addition to private therapies) and will enter K this fall.  Of course, we have some concerns but based on our experiences with DS1 (and a very good consultant who helps us with crafting excellent IEPs), I think he'll be okay.  I don't have private school experience but I don't think I could find one that could do a better job than what our local school has been able to do.  For us, paying a private consultant is acceptable and far more cost effective than going the private school route.  Good luck.[/quote]
