Regarding the following post:

As far as cost goes, depending on where you live you may qualify for aid (don't be proud, it is there for these kids and they need it, so do you). I live in Arizona where his diagnosis allows us to have 80% coverage of speech and occupational therapy in addition to in-home care and respite (parental time off). You should persue setting up a 504 plan for your child. This type of documentation is what most educators are looking for when you need their help. Under the 504 rules, they must not exclude your child based on his situation, loosely stated.

I'd like to learn more about how to find out if you qualify for aid. Also how do you find out about the 504 plan? My 8 year old Daughter has Aspergers Syndrome and A.D.D. She is extremely artistic. She is in a private Christian School that offers a special class for special needs kids. It is not a special Ed class. SHe is doing much better in this class with only 12 kids and 2 teachers.
Thanks!
