[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child who would benefit from cmi. Who is, as I said earlier, borderline. But we didn't get in. Should I go for children's children, or expect another school to accommodate?[/quote]

What is children's children? A school is only required to accommodate with an IEP or 504. Different schools have different standards for granting 504s and IEPs. [/quote]

Actually the standards for a 504 or IEP are mandated by federal law.

However, some schools are more creative about implementing accommodations than others, and others can be downright hostile. When you tour a school ask how they support learning differences and what kind of professional development there is for staff (some should be focused on learning disabilities or inclusion each year). If a schools percentage of students on IEPs is less than 10% be wary - that is the incidence of SN in the general population and could suggest an unwillingness to accommodate/support. Finally ask about support staff - is there a psychologist, SLP and OT on staff. [/quote]
