[quote=Anonymous]My experiences with the special Ed teams across different schools have generally been positive. However they provided no real help at any time to my DS. Any actual help he received was paid for privately.

It all depends on the diagnosis. If the challenges fall under the realm of accommodations and are not behavioral, generally the schools can handle that.

If the challenges are behavioral or if they are learning disabilities, my observations are that assistance is spotty.

My DS has a learning disability. Different school districts with different well-meaning educators couldn’t provide anything more than nice words and vague unhelpful instruction.
This is something we accepted very quickly and moved on without relying on the schools. Because of that, my frustration was limited because I accepted the reality. However, my frustration reappears when a special ed program misrepresents what it actually can accomplish or, in our case, did accomplish, when all the gains he made had absolutely nothing to do with the schools.[/quote]
