[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will need an advocate, but even then I think it will be tough and you may remain frustrated. Getting specific instruction is hard in any public school setting - but gets exponentially harder in middle and high school. My advice is to do the math and compare the difference between private school tuition and an experienced reading and writing tutor. Good luck. It is no fun.[/quote] I second the advice for an advocate. I spun my wheels for two years until finally deciding to pay for one. And having an advocate was the ONLY reason I was successful for getting an IEP for my similar type son. In fact, that's what the IEP group told me! But, I have to say I think we will have to go back to using a language tutor for work on decoding, etc. My son is not really getting that much language based help with his pull outs. [/quote]
