[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This absolutely sucks, but I think you only have bad choices right now, so it may be a matter of figuring out which bad option you can swallow.

1) Find the money for Lab School even if it means asking family for help, taking on a weekend job, or dipping into retirement or a 529.

2) Home school and deal with the loss of income.

3) Enroll in public and make yourself an enormous pain their ass until they agree that they can't meet his needs and help fund something that will work.

4) Move someplace known for special education and roll the dice that they have better resources. [/quote]

This list sounds about right. Another choice is to rent out your house for a year and move somewhere so your dc can attend a great school and learn skills that they will then take back to public school. I’m currently reading The Woman Who Changed Her Brain, and the Arrowsmith School in Toronto sounds interesting. I haven’t done the research yet to know if this woman is for real or just blowing smoke.

I’m sorry your choices are so terrible. Could you pause saving for college right now? Kid isn’t going to college if they don’t learn to read. We had to stop saving for a while because our child’s autism was so out of control. It was not great financially, but he wasn’t on the college path anyway. Now he is. When we get there, we might be a little short, depending on how the markets do. It was still the right choice for our family.

Blowing smoke.  And she has tried to fund several double blind studies…results always ‘next year.’

Now anecdotally she gets happy parents and CEO Nadella sends disabled daughter to one of her schools in Seattle (and that’s a serious endorsement- but I live in Indian hood so likely biased)

Only Cohen-kadosh at Oxford’s brain shocks on kids at London based dyslexia school really improved these kids but experiments ceased due to ethical issues - would the therapies harm another talent? Also classic issue - small sample.  So tutoring is the only way to remediate.[/quote]
