[QUOTE="slsh, post: 33358, member: 8"] Off the cuff, as just a mom, I'd say there are 2 very good reasons for ESY that are "easy" to justify - if the child has IEP goals that have not been met and/or if you can make a case for regression (behaviorally, academically, socially, and/or developmentally) over the unstructured summer months. Our experience with ESY has not been great in terms of addressing IEP goals, frequency of related services, or even maintaing current level of function. If you have other options that are developmentally/age/socially appropriate for your kiddo, and are able to afford them, I'd go with- them (thinking maybe a day camp?). Again, just our experience, but do not expect the same level of services in ESY. Every ESY program my kids have been in (with the exception of difficult child when he's been in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) programs) have been half-day, 4 days a week, for 4 weeks during the summer. Hindsight being 20/20, my kids would have been *much* better served in a day camp or overnight camp that was familiar with- their needs (and had we won the lottery 15 years ago [img]:wink:[/img] ).
