[quote=Anonymous]I came to this conclusion years ago. My middle had a severe LD, phonological disorder and a hand weakness. While his IEP was valuable for accommodations, there was never any real intervention. He got group ST which I supplemented with private. He got OT (never the promised hours) which I supplemented with private. He got zero help for the LD beyond a few minutes of pull out a week where the teacher changed his writing for him. I spent thousands on advocates. A complete waste. My youngest has apraxia and is now in HS. He’s always had an IEP but beyond group speech (not appropriate to his diagnosis) in the early years, zero intervention. In MS, the only thing offered was co-taught classes where the other teacher was actually a para who was unhelpful. Now in HS, we have a good case manager and will revisit services at our upcoming meeting. But until now, any money I’ve spent hasn’t been worth it for any of them. [/quote]
