[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you're doing yourself and your child a real disservice if you don't at least start the IEP process and understand what your options are in your public school district.  Why in the world wouldn't you want all available information when making this decision?  A lot of your stereotypes (such as "spotty SEL" curriculum) are wrong about special needs in public schools.  It's always better to get facts and to understand what is available for *your* child rather than just assuming what is or isn't there.[/quote]

Why?  Public has not been great for us.  IEP is a joke and not even worth the paper it is written on.  It really is school and child specific.  If they can and want to go private, why is that such an issue for you?  If they need an IEP later on they can get one.[/quote]

Because some parents feel their kids are well-served by IEPs and public.  That may not be the case for OP, but it's not rational for her not to even consider this option.  I have no issue with her going private; just confused about the situation.  [/quote]

And, other of us don't feel our kids are well served with IEP's and public.  Why is that so hard to consider?  Why is it hard to consider some of us have had great experiences in a regular private and just did services privately, which is what OP wants to do? [/quote]

It’s not  at all hard to consider that some kids are well served in public schools with an iEP and some are not, and that some kids are well served in mainstream privates with supports and others are well served in sN privates.
What I do find hard to consider is a parent who will look at a ton of different options and not even look at or understand her public options.
You are under no obligation to send your kid to the public school if you get an evaluation and learn what services are available for your child.
That seems like helpful information so that you can make the best decision possible with all the relevant info.[/quote]

You are making a bold assumption to assume she hasn't.  Why do you care if she prefers private over public?  Some kids are better served in public, others are not.  The choice is hers.[/quote]
