I just want share one parent's recent message to us:
We had success advocating for our child at our public school district. I have been working with the teachers and administrators for about two years, now. I'd have to say that an I.Q. test, combined with an out of level achievement test were the most persuasive pieces of information I gave them, in attempting to demonstrate that my child needed more.
Dual enrollment is often used at the high school level, but in some cases I think it can be appropriate for certain children at the elementary and jr. high level, as well.
Luckily, the state of Illinois, where we live, allows for partial homeschool and we've taken advantage of it at different times to enhance the services that they are getting at school. So far, it's worked extremely well.
