And I am betting that is why the sped director is opposed ... because if

the child succeeds with an aide (that will not be in THEIR employ) then the

precedent will be set and the parents will have a stronger case in making the

school responsible for the aide's salary.

I have to agree with you here . :-) It is the schools responsiblity.

But..... there are times when the hoops they make you jump through cause alot

of delay and if you'd really like to know, there are times when I've come

close to deciding it'd be easier to pay for it myself rather then screw

around for another 4, 6, 12 months. In fact we did go with private ST which

ins. and MA (we had it at that time) paid for because I was so sick of the

piddling around going on at school. I would think that in the mean time the

parent can persue the schools paying for the staff needed and seek

reimbursment.

I think the biggest question would be, if you pay for an assistant yourself

do you get to say who it is? (sometimes that might be a good thing, hehe)

Not in their employ and therefore answering to the Parent, therefore making

the parents a MAJOR part of thei child's education.......... Now isn't

THAT a scary idea?

checked with the chief financial officer at the school

distirct and asked where the funds come form to pay

for the aid, the funds are federal, so the district

cannot tell me it's not in their budget! Maybe

somehow you could check and see how the aid would be

funded. Do you know someone in your district who has

an aid? Maybe they know ablut the funding or could

find out.
