Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Has anyone been succesful at getting their school district to pay for private specialized instruction ( like mood Bell or Dr. Silton)? If so, what avenues do I need to take to get this accomplished? Thanks for your responses in advance. Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 what school district and what state? if it is calif, read the publication from protection and advocacy called parents rights and responsibilities. it spells out everything. basically, if you can prove that a certain methodology is " appropriate " for your child based on his/her specific needs, etc., you can make an argument. vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I believe Kev is in downstate Illinois. I met a mom with a 7th grader LD kids over the past summer. They moved from downstate (a crass river from st. louis) to Buffalo Grove. The boy is been bused everyday to a special learning school some where in ton (or some where around there) every day at school district's expense. Her husband and the other son (NT) still back at down state. She was quite happy with the placement, although it is quite hard on her family. I saw here over swimming lessons, and have not met her afterwards. There are 3 district in BG, I think it is the on in cook county. So I can only say it can be done in Illinois, but may not in every school district.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 For non-LD kids it may be helpful. Although I've never used this program with my neurotypical child. The only subject she sometimes needs a little extra help with is algebra (and only before tests). For this I hire a good tutor (a friend of mine who has a Phd in math!!!). My LD child requires more specific help (I have to convert everything to fit his learning modality -- he's visual spacial and needs memory cues). I wouldn't choose Kumon for him because it's not designed for kids with learning differences. On Aug 28, 2005, at 5:39 PM, telengold wrote: > Hi!
