shellymos Member S Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 847 New York	Originally Posted by Jules726 I also applied this month. But I was wondering if anyone could tell me if DYS could help me answer some questions and give me some guidance about what to do with a few situations at my son's school. I really need some advice and I don't know where else to go. Does anyone know if they are available in this way even if your child has not gotten in yet or may not get in at all? Thank you so much. Jules Not sure. I know CTY gives consultations for a small fee ($15 I think) as we did that a long time ago. I also know that after DS5 was accepted into DYS we contacted them and had someone call us before an official family consultant was assigned because we really wanted some ideas and advice for school quickly.

It's like you don't know where else to go as you feel like you've exhausted all of your options and you are watching another year going by and being wasted - especially as they are starting to get older . At this point my son is starting to ask ME to ask the school and I can't even do anything for him - so sad.

That would be me Fortunately I gave them an e-mail which I don't use for any of my mailing lists so there aren't not that many new messages there. On the other hand when one comes chances are that it could be the one. Next week will be even worse LMom

I checked the mail today and there was a big manila envelope. I was so sad when it wasn't from Davidson. We don't get big envelopes often so I was really hoping...

I was glad that we found out before the weekend, but that must make it even more difficult for you as you had two extra days of waiting ahead of you. Fingers crossed you have a good news to post on Monday LMom
