I dream of this - particularly I dream of a " school where the teachers had respect of the students needs" where they understand dysgraphia.

Yes. That is exactly where I am. I'd love to just send him to this school have in mind. It gets RAVE reviews. It seems transformative for kids with dysgraphia and dyslexia. The special ed attorneys I know say that is really where my kid needs to go... even for a couple of years.

I wish so much I could do it for my DS. But it is over $30,000 per year. It's also not close or convenient to our home. But the biggest obstacle is the price.
