I have a problem with the fact that a family helped a struggling kid because they were wealthy and had the means to do so.  Not every kid is afforded that help.  It tips the scales to the side of socioeconomic class.  As most things tend to do.  I just don't think it's right.[/quote]

Not right to be wealthy?  Alrighty then. [/quote]

Not right to only get accomodations if you are wealthy enough to have them diagnosed.[/quote]

CNMC and KKI will perform the same diagnostic tests as a private practice and they take insurance.  The only difference is the amount of time it takes since they're typically scheduling 10 months out and private practice can get you in in 6 weeks or so.  Schools are also required to performing testing upon referral.  While not medically diagnostic, their testing is supposed to identify whether the student is able to access the curriculum or if they need services or accommodations.

It seems your beef is that those with more money have more resources to address their children's disabilities.  They don't have to settle for the crumbs given in public school, but can instead pay to receive a full and effective level of intervention.  Are you saying that parents should not be able to pay to give their kids the support they need?  Does that include all the other enrichment activities rich people fund for their kids?

No.  We're saying that its unfair that fake disabilities get accommodations that allow them to advance their privileges even further. [/quote]
