it looks like very few are actually using the services of DYS program
since the application is free and services are free, why not apply and see
another question- do they provide financial help, particularly for free / reduced lunch income groups??
I heard several people were saying they use some aspect of services. Our family has benefited from getting to know other families through the network. We've learned a great deal from online seminars open to DYS parents and kids. We have made limited use of our family consultant but I'm glad to know that resources is there is we ever need to. Our child has also received some financial assistance for expenses like tuition and lessons to develop his talents. We are middle income - certainly not eligible for free lunch, but definitely found we were facing unusual educational expenses with a profoundly gifted child.
