Incog,
I'm really glad that you made some headway. I hope you giggle when you hear my favorite new catch-phrase - when it comes to working with schools "It's a process!"
I'm hoping that both your daughter grow happy and get regualar chances with challenge as you get closer and closer to your goal.
LOL - same advice regarding the private school - observe the classroom. Personally I did get to the place where I came to believe that the best way to help my son was to work more and earn enough dough for a more flexible school placement. I had heard a joke that no one puts on their gravestone "I should have spent more time at the office." - and was starting to think that I would be the exception to that rule! Still, being there emotionally for children is a huge committment of time and energy, so I applaud any parent who can swing working less outside the home for as long as they can manage it. Another good example of us choosing the "least bad option."
Smiles,
Trinity
