I feel pretty confident about my hsing the kids. I knocked myself out esp. with S15, spending hours and hours doing special programs and stuff with him. 3 rounds of speech therapy and occupational therapy, etc. D9 is going through OT now. So if the testing is good, it should reflect some of that.
Everyone I talk to says it's doubtful anyone could meet S15 for 5 minutes and not think public school would be a bad idea, much less be tested for 2 days. I think he is making a mistake with evaluating S15 at all, I mean it could be more $$$ for him than he realizes. I don't think he fully realizes or admits completely S15's autism, although he told the evaluator he realizes some of it.
H in depo with my L insisted just public school for them not private, so it's clear he wants to do their education as cheap as possible. If the court/evaluation system is not good and he winds up going to public school, maybe I should push for special instruction/tutoring from the get go that he will need rather than wait for the teachers to complain (as they did in the past)?
