I will certainly think of you all while I'm in there. This forum has become a great outlet. It is so hard to discuss these real issues with parents who haven't had to travel down this path. Their skepticism and disapproval is hard to mask.

I am hopeful our new school, a private "gifted" school will be one of the few schools attuned to special needs and won't fight too hard with arguments that have no teeth. I unfortunately believe that to be a pipe dream and expect to come out having done battle. But victorious, none the less!
