[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry you are struggling. I was once where you are but my DS had severe dysgraphia. I knew something was wrong in 1st but the school denied it. Fortunately he was in OT for the handwriting piece and the OT did some intervention. 2nd grade was horrible. DS was not able to do the work in the classroom and became very sad. The school tested and continued to deny LD. The teacher refused to even follow the IEP. I explored private school but we didn’t get enough financial aid. I felt so trapped i considered homeschooling. In 3rd grade we made our final atempt at diagnosis privately through Childrens. The neuropsych attended our next meeting along with an advocate. We finally got pullout but there was no structured program which broke me after all the effort. We enrolled in a summer intervention program at the McLean School which finally led to some progress. Then I read everything i could in SN groups and worked with him. It was slow. I know your child needs even more specialized help like OG so perhaps contact ASDEC (asdec.org).  The therapists have to provide hours under supervision to be certified. Perhaps you can get in with one for a discounted rate. Or see if McLean School has a summer program. I accepted I couldn’t afford to provide the gold standard but I also recognized any progress is progress so I did what I could where I could.  [/quote]
