[quote=Anonymous]I agree with a pp that you can push a public school for GT services.  I would add that it is much more difficult to push a mainstream private school on SN.

There is no perfect school.  So, look at what schools are available to you and see what things you can do privately to fill in the holes.  We ended up sticking with private and supplementing.  The school could handle the academic side of things and some of the SN and we picked up the rest. For our younger son it was  weekly (2-3 times a week) hour long tutoring sessions with a reading specialist that was certified, experienced and trained in teaching children with dyslexia and dysgraphia.  She helped with reading, spelling and writing from 2nd grade to mid 7th grade. We also added a LCSW for the anxiety and other mental issues that were simmering (mild OCD and significant introvertedness).  The LCSW also ran a weekly social skills group our older DC attended who is HFA- that private intervention was key for him too.  He attended weekly from 4th grade to 12 th grade.
