[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virginia does not do school vouchers, and good luck getting them to pupil-place in private (and, even if APS would, I doubt Lab is on their list).  If you're looking for the local government to send your kid to special-needs private, you'd have better luck in MD or DC.

Our kid does not go to Lab but goes to a $40K+/year private, special needs school.  We pay for it on a HHI of about $300K gross and receive no financial aid.  (Our property taxes are similar, but I'm not sure how that's relevant here.)  We've done it by living well below our means and scrimping a lot.  We have two cars, but one is 13 years old and the other seven (both paid for and neither fancy) and won't buy a new one until the kid is out of special needs private or one dies.[/quote]

I'm missing something as on $300K you can afford $40K in less you spent a lot on your home or have huge private therapy expenses.  If we had that income given our lifestyle we could easily do $40K and have plenty left over.[/quote]
