[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, as a parents who has a child with needs, Saint Barts is one of the few schools that allows you ( the family) to provide a tutor for your child during the school day. Most of the other schools we looked at do not allow for this, which means your child has to find a reputable tutor, who’s not already booked, and have them seen in the afternoon when they’re already exhausted from the day. Saint Bart also provides screeners for speech and has occupational therapist that work with the school and can come in should your child need extra support. These are not regular things that happen at all schools. So please let’s give some credit where credit is due. [/quote]

This is pretty common at private schools.  But, to your point, it's a LD tax.   The school that has always accommodated and provided reading specialist, etc has dismantled the program and has yet to inform the families.  They are counting on these families to shell out $100+/hr to preferred vendors to serve the kid and not make a stink about it.   They will likely be unaware until mid-fall when they realize their kids are not getting pulled out.  They are not being told.  To be fair, this has been happening for a few weeks already when the reading specialist was pulled to cover a maternity leave.  The families do not know that the learning plan was ignored.[/quote]
