what i mean by regular classroom is that she will probably always need assistance. Around here I've heard there are great teachers in some of the special ed areas and some not so great teachers. I guess you get that anywhere, though. I just didnt want to pick up and move to an area where there are no services or not alot to offer in the way of "special instruction", therapy, specialty drs...So we are looking toward the direction of Ann Arbor, although Grand Rapids gives us another option! Do they offer differnet kinds of therapy up that way??? Gotta go to look in on that health care cux we would be moving w/ no benefits initally. Is this just for special needs kids? Thanks for all your help!!
