[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has two SN kids. That’s a big deal pp. it’s expensive.  Why so rude?[/quote]

I mean, one of them is currently at Oxford and gunning for Harvard Law with an internship at the Senate that apparently none of us could dream of our kids getting.  There's special needs and there's "[b]mommy got me an IEP to get extra time on the SAT."[/quote][/b]

I assume this is ignorance and sarcasm.  All the "mommy got me an IEP to get extra time on the SAT in the world" will not get you to Oxford.  Anyhow, if PP knew anything about SN kids they would know that SN kits perform better on the ACT, not the ACT. He would also know that SN schools do not have IEPS.  He would also know that ACT scores do not get you accepted three years later into Oxford for summer study.

All the skills build on earlier skills. If you get early testing, early evaluation, early tutoring and SN schools for the particular need, your child MAY overcome some of their learning disabilities.  Of course it all depends on the particular type of learning disability and degree.  But all of this costs big bucks.  BIG bucks.[/quote]

I'd like to know the doctor that all these people are getting extra SAT time.  We've fought the school for years and finally gave up.  We, like others, spent a small fortune out of pocket in therapies, a few years of private school, etc. for our child and we cannot get any supports but 30 minutes of group speech therapy that was not related to my child's needs.  School wanted to change diagnosis to support their demand for extra staffing but refused regardless of the results to give more services or supports to our child.   We don't expect any help for college.  Ours know they will go to a state school except if they get financial aid.[/quote]
