[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You hire an advocate and have all communication go through them. What district are you in?[/quote]

Plus one. If you want to stay in public school system then you may need an advocate to support you in IEP meetings  sometimes the psychologists who handle your neuropsyche evils can be hired by the hour to come and sit in on the IEP meetings and even the playing field in your students’ favors.

Also OP -
Can you afford a therapeutic private school if things don’t improve?  In our experience the IEP meetings and paperwork were often rigid bureaucratic nonsense with pages of pages of jargon to communicate basic actions and goals. The therapies were often very limited and needed a lot of private supplementation anyway .

We went private therapeutic and found the communications, teaching and accommodations to be much more helpful  -/ however some public schools do a great job with neuro diverse students so this probably differs school to school and county to county. [/quote]

Op here. I’m starting to think this is what we should do. I’m not in DC anymore but my son is on the long term care/medicaid type insurance for our state in addition to our private insurance which means that all therapies are free and we don’t even pay a copay. We are authorized up to 40 hours per week of ABA. I want what’s best for my son, but I have to consider my sanity too. This process feels so time consuming for such a small reward. The therapies in school are a joke anyway and we do so much more in private therapy already. I am tired of fighting with the school. Our state has some kind of a voucher program where they will pay for private school but I don’t know how it works exactly. I need to look into it more.[/quote]
