What would you do with $11,000 per year ($1,000 kept by government for administrative purposes) for your child’s education?
1. Make sure a psychosocial academic assessment is in place about strengths and limitations.
2. Buy specialized private tutoring for reading, math, etc.
3. Be able to afford specialized experiences like therapeutic horseback riding, musical instruments and lessons, to suit the interests of the child.
4. Attend a private school that would accommodate child’s special needs.
5. Purchase specialized computer, curriculum, textbooks, supplies for special needs.
6. Afford therapies indicated — speech, physiotherapy, positive behavioral skills, etc.
7. Join parent support groups and social events for students.
