[quote=Anonymous]I’m a parent of a special ed kid in APS. I second asking that the thread be moved to the special needs forum. I don’t know legally what your rights are legally. Wrightslaw.com has a lot of legal information. The APS parent resource center has been helpful for us. PEATC is a good resource for Virginia special ed and they have information and webinars about legal rights. As a parent, I would absolutely recommend that you DO NOT send your kid to any program that does not want them if you have another alternative. No pedagogical approach is worth it. Your daughter will be there for hours every day and it will be obvious to her and to the other kids that she is not wanted. The risk that it will crush her spirit and lead to long term emotional and social issues is too great. You can much more easily supplement at home for academic enrichment. Recovering from emotional trauma is much harder. Please find a program that will welcome and support her. [/quote]
