We went through a similar experience in our family. Except through the Lutheran school system. Things hit blacktop about 4th grade for us too. I decided to have testing done through CPS and as was told that by not getting my child the additional services needed I was committing child abuse. After I picked up my jaw and told the person what I thought of her comment. We moved to the world of public education. It was not an easy transition for me lots of anxiety and even more tears and fear. But I became very well versed on what my child needed in way of services and what was legally our rights. My child flourished and is a successful well rounded adult. Every situation is different but this was how it worked out in our family. There is light at the end of the tunnel but it is a long long tunnel and a tiny light. Deb Caputo
