[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] __________________________________________________________ One thing I've learned while negotiating all this nonsense in our educational system is that every support, no matter how restrictive, must be justified--and that stands whether it is the school presenting it or the parents. As parent's we want the absolute best for our children, of course. Unbelievably, the law says our children are entitled to no more than what would allow them to partake in the curriculum just as NT and/or "non-disabled" peers do. I never stopped fighting for more for my child, but the sooner I viewed things within this context, the sooner I learned to negotiate the system. A parent's desire for their child to have the best services available simply isn't enough in the eyes of the school, and by questioning I'm trying to better understand why OP wants something. [/quote] OP here- I value your perspective and I think this comment is helpful. It is important to understand "the other side" in order to, as you stated, better negotiate the system. Thank you.
