[quote=Anonymous]I feel like there's no way I would actually PAY for the services my HFA kid receives in school. If these were real providers I could pick and choose between, I would go elsewhere. Why then am I fighting with a fair amount of money (for a lawyer, for therapist services) to preserve minutes that probably aren't really helping my kid out very significantly? I feel like the only services that have really helped out my kid have been the ones I've paid for outside of school. How do you justify fighting for IEP services (through a serious expenditure of time and money) that 1) might not be implemented even though they're *listed* on the IEP, 2) might be poorly delivered, and 3) that you can't adequately supervise (and whose efficacy you can't really assess)? I'm in the thick of the process right now and I'm just jaded as hell. [/quote]
