[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 607201, member: 1550"] The Director of Special Education knew my voice on the phone...lol. I was not easily intimidated and went to the department of public education and got everything I wanted for both of my kids. They fought it, but my kids won in the end. They even sent my son to a nearby public school, transporting him on their dime, so that he could get services that our home school did not provide. Sonic and Jumper have both leaped since being in public school. Sonic will never hold a highly competitive job because his learning disorders affect his schooling too much, but he's doing great, is happy, and can pass for "normal." He has no mental health or behavioral issues and it did not start out that way. Now I can honestly say this is a young man who everyone loves, who is kindhearted and nice mannered who will never see the inside of a jail and will never initiate a fight. I'm very proud of him. Jumper is on her way to college and her school got her confidence up to the point where she used to have meetings with the principal, who loved her, and she always says that, besides us, he was the most influential person in her life (in a good way). He made her believe in herself and to go that extra step and encouraged her to try just a little bit harder, even though school came a little bit harder for her. Her Special Education teacher, when she needed it, and her study skills helpers were invaluable to her self-esteem. To be honest, at the parochial school, both of my kids were kind of put down and told that they could do better if they just tried harder. They got no extra help for their problems and they both wanted out by the time Sonic was in fourth grade. Poor Sonic used to walk around the playground by himself at that school. He made friends right away at public school, first in his Special Education classes then he had a few typical kids at his lunch table as well. I had been afraid to pull them out, but I fought like you wouldn't believe to get them services in public school and I'm happy my husband and I did pull them. [/QUOTE]
