[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m getting very concerned and would appreciate suggestions on school options. Almost desperate. DC who will be a rising 6th grader has a diagnosis for profound double deficit dyslexia. Just got rejected from Oakwood and Siena bc they are more than two years behind. We can’t afford Lab School, and on a school tour of KTS the director agreed their program was “too restrictive” for DC. We are stuck. We cannot send DC to our public middle school due to environment (extreme and frequent bullying and knife fight last week) and subpar special ed experience with a sibling. Homeschool isn’t an option bc DH and I both work full time.

Where do these kids go? Cognitively “normal” and socially fine, but profoundly learning disabled. Putting DC in public will destroy them, but we have no choice at this point. Help! [/quote]

A lot of families use public schools because they have to accept everyone. Get as much services as you can from your public AND supplement privately. Do Lindamood bell in the summer and get an OG tutor for the rest of the year for example.

Of course if you don't like your public school, I don't know what to tell you other than you can always move. Plenty of people prioritize public schools in their choice of where to live. you chose not to do that but you could still move. [/quote]
