[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there's another issue. If a child needs services in a public school, the school is on the hook to provide them via an IEP or occasionally a 504 plan. If the school is not providing those services, but makes provisions for a private therapist to do it, couldn't it help a parent make the case down the road that the school wasn't providing FAPE? [/quote] Clarifying -- i mean if they were to allow a private therapist, chosen and paid for by the parents. The corollary is that you can't send your own math teacher or tutor into a school to just work with your child instead of, or in addition to, the school's teachers.[/quote] FAPE means provides "access" to the curriculum--not succeed at the curriculum. If your kid needs more services that what the school provides, then you pay out of pocket for services that in general wouldn't be provided on public school grounds.[/quote]
