[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read through all the responses, but I don't agree with those who are discouraging you from applying to private schools. Our child has mild hypotonia. It sound like it is more mild than your child's since ours is not not in therapy but does swimming and martial arts--recommended by a developmental pediatrician. We applied to GDS, Lowell, Maret, NPS, and WIS and our child got into all but one, and I don't think it had anything to do with our child's hypotonia. Our child is still young but is doing great.[/quote]

By your account your kid doesn't have a disability at all, and probably not even a visible difference. If she never even had to have OT, then it's a totally different scenario than OP's child, who has an actual medical condition as well as a speech delay.  Did you even disclose it to the schools?

I did say that my child likely has a milder case of hypotonia than the OP's. But my child was in speech therapy for several years (expressive delay) and has fine and general motor issues. It might not be exceptionally noticeable to the average person, though I think the average person can pick up on it when they see my child run, etc. My child was also in PT and we just discontinued it during the pandemic and focused on other core-strengthening activities.
