[quote=Anonymous]We shared the neuropsych. We weren’t forcing or pressuring anyone. We wanted to be confident the school felt they could support our son. Both mainstream schools that accepted him openly spoke to us about his needs and reviewed his existing public school IEP. They saw no red flags that he would struggle provided he was accommodated. They had a learning specialist on staff but were clear they didn’t provide specific 1:1 intervention. They instead allowed tutors to come during the school day and use a classroom if needed. He made a ton of progress at his private school. Sometimes kids with more mild disabilities really benefit from a change of environment. In our case, smaller class sizes, better LA instruction with dedicated teachers, consistent use of accommodations, explicit coaching on study skills and time management (part of the curriculum), strong advisor, open communication between school and home, and a less stressful overall environment could be considered the intervention. He is in college now. Best decision I have ever made![/quote]
