I totally agree. It seems like this declaration in a court of law could and should lead to bigger things. If I were bianc, I'm quite sure I would have pursued things the same way. But it does beg the question - what about the public school? When I think of kids whose parents can't afford alternatives or worse, parents who don't even know their child's "special needs", these kids can and will just slip through the system it makes me sad and mad.

Mia - you totally described my DS and DH. Funny! They get totally engaged in surfing the web, math problems, Lego Mindstorms, etc etc etc. Last night, I went out for a dinner with a girlfriend and they had written "I love you" across the living room in legos for when I got home.

And kcab - stick around! We're all in the same boat.
