[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good point, PP.

Consider speaking to the psychologist to see if he/she thinks there is a disability. I’m very surprised that any licensed psychologist made the suggestion to pull your child out without offering a plan. Did the psychologist recommend private testing?

You need to determine if there is a disability. The psychologist should be able to give you recommendations for how to move forward- whether that is privately or through the school system.

For now, you should look for a private kindergarten with openings that allows for small class size. That will give you some time to figure things out for 1st grade.

All this said, a COSA makes no sense in your situation. No school can guarantee smaller class sizes from year to year so that reasoning would not make sense in your situation.[/quote]

Agree about the private kindergarten. You mentioned that you can’t afford private school for the entire duration of her elementary years. But you don’t need to. Go to private K while you explore other options including getting an IEP.

COSA is not an easy process and you will need to be able to justify your reasons to transfer your child. At the moment, I don’t think you have much of a ground. It also does not make sense. IMHO.[/quote]
