Thanks again, everyone, for the great advice. I knew this was the right place! It's not something I can talk about with even my closest friends so I was feeling a bit alone. It's just a very touchy subject.
And pinkpanther, thanks so much for sharing about your daughter. How frustrating! I'm so sorry that she's miserable, and I hope you are able to make progress as you push for more. I certainly know I'm not alone in this, which is a fact that's even more infuriating. I just think about how many kids are left out; it makes me shudder.
We'll definitely stay on top of things, and I guess we'll proceed with the district appeal. Now if I could just figure out how to better deal with many of her overexcitabilities . . . . I guess that's another thread.
