[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are wealthy in less you are on section 8 or low income housing program.  Don't kid yourself.  You can afford services, but you have to modifiy your budget.[/quote]

I'm a disabled single parent with no income due to my health and seeking medical treatment currently. I'm applying for SSDI but the wait can be years, despite meeting all criteria. We are barely making it, but my son still deserves a chance to learn as much as a wealthy family's child does. My son's school is also largely inaccessible to me as a wheelchair user, despite me trying to request documents digitally and trying multiple times to attend family events there, as they keep the elevators locked, don't staff them with enough volunteers with passes, etc.

I know your post was meant in spite-- but I want to thank you. You've reminded me that no matter how hard our circumstances or how humbled I am by health or disability challenges, I'm still doing better than those with far more resources and ability, who sadly waste it to try and hurt, instead of help.

Your post is misleading as you have enough money to live in one of the most expensive areas.  Move to something more affordable and spend that extra on tutoring and help for your child.  Many of us struggle with our health.  We live within our means and make it work.  We get creative with getting our child the help they need.  Your child has the same opportunities being in the same school.  The issue is your child cannot handle that school placement and its not the right fit.[/quote]

Go away PP. 
OP I'm sorry for your situation and hope you find some support for your child. Whitman is notoriously bad because they depend on families to have the resources to do private services.
I'd file an ADA complaint for yourself. You have a right ot be able to access your child's school. I would ask for an observation and that way you can get a face-to-face with some staff, teachers and the IEP team. Usually someone from the IEP team will have to accompany you during the observation.[/quote]

You go away.  This child is getting a lot of supports and OP wants more.  They aren't going to get more.  Be real.[/quote]
