[quote=Anonymous]It depends on what you want for your child and your goals ultimately. The fact that your child has worked very very hard is not a certificate vs. diploma issue. My child is bright and hard working and yet we have her on a certificate track. Why? I don't see her as employable ultimately due to her extreme disabilities. She is getting the same academics in the certificate track but she is not constantly tested and stressed and she has the advantage, as a PP noted, of staying in the school system until age 21 instead of leaving after HS graduation, and of receiving transition to work services (for disability work such as workshops and work programs). It requires thinking about what your child's needs and goals are.[/quote]
