[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had luck with a private tutor or BCBA pushing into a public school? We’re going to ask about ratios and  teacher assistant availability, but wondering just in case. [/quote]

This IME always falls on the principal to say yes. About 80% say yes immediately as long as they aren’t expected to pay (private hire by you), about 20% needed a little pushback usually legally. Don’t know the logistics about fighting this, just know that after it gets to that point was usually in the school within 2-3 months of parents being told no initially.

Sometimes the principal wants  to meet the person first, requires background checks, etc which I’ve never been concerned about aside from it delays progress a bit. Get all your paperwork ready ahead of time, take the person you want to the IEP if possible so the team can meet them, get your scheduling worked out ahead of time so they can go in immediately, etc- that kind of thing helps get the ball rolling.

It’s also incredibly helpful to  the person you send in if they have experience with your child outside the school and especially if the experience is with the child in the home. It’s not a make or break if that overlap between home and school isn’t there but it’s a huge benefit to everyone if it is.[/quote]

This is an enormous piece of misinformation. In many public school districts it’s a flat out no as a matter of policy and principals are not allowed to make any exceptions. OP - check with your school district. [/quote]

It’s just my experience (see IME) based on 20+ years in schools and other settings in several states and many different school systems. Obviously you might have a different experience, that’s how experiences work.[/quote]

Pls name districts where you saw private non-school BCBAs provide services in public schools?[/quote]

Definitely a big NO in DC Publics - they will now allow any private provider on site...maybe during aftercare, does anyone know?[/quote]

+1 FCPS, it was an uphill battle just to be allowed for the student to be observed for 30 minutes by an outside professional (vice principal had to be present the whole time) [/quote]
