  We got very lucky to gain admission- Initially, he was wait listed.

totally understand his strengths and weaknesses and has a variety of teaching methods which he 
responds to.  He is a bright kid but simply learns differently.

No, DC does not fund him.  We've heard too many horror stories about due process hearings.  Several friends have spent
away too much $$$ on lawyers, expert witnesses and costly lawsuits with no luck.
If new laws are passed (thanks to Councilman Catania) things may change and we may reconsider.  For now, it looks the the
Deck is stacked against parents.
