[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has never been offered ESY and I wasn't bothered about that but his path is not as smooth as it once was and I suspect his teacher might be amenable this year.  If he doesn't go to ESY he will 
go to a private camp that costs us an arm and a leg that does do some work on the skills he's working on at school plus some fun things.

In the past I wrote ESY off thinking about the hot busses and hot schools but the therapy bills are really burdensome at the moment and I'm wondering if I should make a case for it.  If your kid goes are you glad he went?  Were you happy with the team?  Was it even all day or half day?  Thanks.[/quote]

If your son is in a full-day special ed classroom (autism, scb, etc) you would be offered half day, most likely. If he's homeschool model he might get a few hours a week, perhaps even less. I've heard kids that get it usually get half of their IEP time or less. They pick a couple of goals to do maintenance work on to reduce loss over the summer, but they don't teach new skills. PPs are right that it's done by grouping random kids (unless they have a specific autism class) and then whatever teachers or paras signed up to work that year. It's honestly not the best use of your child's time, in my opinion.[/quote]
