[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For kids on the extreme ends of the spectrum-- either profound learning disabilities or profoundly gifted-- not every independent school is going to meet their needs. For example, a child who is nonverbal, or reading at a 2nd grade level, is not going to succeed in my classroom. I don't have a parapro or teaching partner; I don't have a resource room. A parent of such a child would undoubtedly be counseled to look into a different program.[/quote] Huh? Why would there be a nonverbal child in a mainstream private school classroom? Or a child who can barely read in middle school? As the parent of a child with a developmental disability I find this example absurd and a little insulting. To compare a nonverbal child with a profoundly gifted child? Seriously, this is ridiculous.[/quote]
