[quote=Anonymous]OP, we are in a very similar situation and decided to switch DD to a private SN school that could better suit her learning needs. MCPS was a disaster for her and we had to do something. It wasn't easy at first to pay such a large tuition but we find a way to make it work - so far. Yes, our retirement is not what it should be but the choice for us came down to a truly miserable child in crisis vs. less savings for retirement. It has been 3 years and DD is doing very well. We sometimes consider switching her back to public but she is benefiting so much that we have decided to keep her where she is for now. We do receive a small amount of aid which we are truly grateful for. Even on this private board, I am hesitant to list how much aid and what our income is. We truly didn't think we would get any aid based on our income (and what you read here on DCUM!). The aid helps but it still hurts to make those payments. I would just say that it might be worth applying to a school and see what kind of aid available. [/quote]
