Another good thing about public w/IEP and SN schools is that you will not have to drive all over town doing therapies.  So even if the SN schools are far away, you'll be getting all the therapies in-house.

For DS11, when he was in public w/IEP - we never drove around or paid for private therapies.  Now that DS is at a private SN school, we don't drive for therapies.  We drive around all over the place for his extracurriculars and for birthday parties, etc.   :lol: [/quote]

Our public school therapies did more harm than good and were worthless.  Don't count on good services or ones catered to your particular child in public. I think people push public and SN schools as they don't want to take the time to take their kid to therapies or pay for them.  We gladly did it on top of a lot of extracurriculars.  [/quote]

We had excellent services through the IEP at our public charter and private therapies weren't necessary.  We travel 2-3 weekends a month all over the country and internationally for DS's chess all year round and he has extracurriculars after school every day in addition to homework.

No time for private therapies in elementary or now in middle school - not enough time in the day as is.  I admit we are sending DS to a SN school for middle school for the integrated social curriculum and small class size which our public middle school is not able to provide even w/IEP - worth the drive for us, takes about an hour one way.[/quote]

So, Chess is more important than therapies and you cannot possibly fit in some private therapy, or you don't want to?  If you child is struggling where next year they need a SN school, you should do private therapies to support him.  If you can afford to travel all over the country for chess, you can afford therapies.  Or, at least find someone to come to the house.  For us, school and therapies would come before activities.  We do multiple activities, some multiple times a week.  We managed all that and private therapies when we needed to.
