[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Answering question of  9:57 -- It was Lowell, but I am sure the same can be said for some other schools.   No one ever wants to talk about it due to a perceived stigma.  I think it is a tough sell if you go into the school suggesting the need for another person in the class.  But if you can get into the school and then the need is apparaent, you may be able to argue for it if the school wants you there -- that depends on the child, the family, and also on other children in the class and what their need are.   Schools can treat the same child differently if he's one of two that need some support, than if he'd be the 4th that needs support in a given class.   That's probably also relevant to initial admissions decissions wholly apart from the shadow issue.  Of course, I agree it is very expensive and just not an optoin for most families regardless of the school's views.[/quote]

May I ask, what has your experience been at Lowell?  Does your child have a shadow there?[/quote]
