Oh Mary!
Lately I'm frustrated with advocacy in the public school setting, but more hopeful about private. Is it within your means, financially and guts wise, to bring her to a local montessori school and try to pass her off as a tiny 9 year old with some disabilities? Sounds like it would tickle your dd's fancy, anyway.
I recently brought DS9 to our local montessori for the day on the basis that they evaluate him with their mixed age middle school - 6th through 8th. I just flat out refused to let him spend the day with his agemates in the 4th and 5th grade group. Now I'm waiting with high hopes to hear what their evaluation revealed.
fingers crossed,
Trinity
