[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Reading through all the posts and suggestions and really appreciate all the input and advice/ideas. DH and I both work full time so these non-traditional programs are logistically challenging for us. Otherwise we can’t pay for the tutors and programs DC needs!

DC needs to be in school socially and emotionally. We also have two other kids with varying levels of disabilities/needs. But none is as profound as the DC who is the subject of this message. Our two other kids are in public and doing okay with supports.

DC’s Current private special Ed school says they can support DC for one more year but by repeating the same grade for a THIRD TIME. which isn’t good for them developmentally or socially to be with 7-8 year olds at age 10-11.

DC started in public in k-2 pretty much all of which happened during Covid. It was a disaster. Even just testing them was a disaster bc there was limited in-person testing so the IEP is based on a hybrid of virtual, in person and testing through a plexiglass screen. We started in public in NoVA and it was a fail even despite a strong IEP with significant hours and interventions. We switched to a special Ed private mentioned in this thread and that is also apparently not working to help DC progress. I get the sense they want “easy” cases of dyslexia and adhd. Not profound cases that take up resources. Which is odd considering the schools mission.

I will look into AESDC and LMB. I also have reached out to Katherine Thomas as someone suggested. But again the logistics are difficult. We don’t know the best strategy here and whether we have a case for funding if DC couldn’t progress in public or current private.

I’m so overwhelmed and feel blindsided by private where we thought DC was “home.” If That makes sense. I’m also frustrated bc I’m getting very little support from my husband (also dyslexic and with some executive function weaknesses) who just sort of stares blankly and freezes when it comes to taking action to help or coming up with solutions. He won’t even send an email to a school for info when I ask. Or request retesting bc of the Covid situation originally. Just doesn’t do it.

I’m very alone trying to manage the needs of three special Ed kids and my own job which I am failing at.

So thank you DCUM for being there and problem solving with me. [/quote]
