[quote=Anonymous]My kids didn’t have dyslexia but other disabilities that required expensive intervention and IEPs. Money was tight but we had exceptional health insurance that made the intensive speech and OT possible. That freed up money for me to pay for extra help for my child with LD who did special summer programs and required an expensive advocate and later a move to a supportive private school for a few years after his self-esteem was tanked. Even then, my parents help and FA  were necessary because we could only afford about 1/3 of the tutition. If one of mine had needed OG, it wouldn’t have been a possibility at that time. My kids are doing well all these years later as a result of everything we were able to do for them but throughout I was very aware that many people can’t do it at all. It is horribly unfair. The system is broken and needs to change. The public school system fails to provide appropriate intervention for most disabilities leaving kids to risk a lifetime of struggle. How hard is it to train 1-2 teachers in every school in OG?[/quote]
