[quote=Anonymous]PP, I see your point but I think or suspect that most people, who choose to pay for their child to go to a SN school or school that offer more support than traditional privates, can generally afford to pay for it and make some lifestyle changes so it won't be too much of a squeeze.  Otherwise, they seek services through the public school system which are not always consistent from grade to grade or school to school.  The parents who lack the financial resources for private also pursue public funding although most school systems have drastically curtailed the outplacement of students as it is costly and they are making it harder to fight for funding.  This may sound trivial to you but we cut back on outside housecleaning.  We used to have a cleaning come twice a week at a cost of $750 a month, which looking back now was frivolous.  We had outside child care to pick kids up and take them to activities at a cost of $1400 per month.  We refinanced our home and saved almost $2000 a month.  These were lifestyle changes that were easy to make and basically added up to close to the monthly tuition we pay.  So, change in lifestyle choices affected our ability to afford private school without going in a financial hole.  And, we cannot afford to let our house go into disrepair because it is a major asset that we will eventually sell to further fund our retirement.[/quote]
