It’s one of the things I have been saying too (post 415) for quite some time. Momphd and family gave a careful search in advance to find what school could offer best match for her prospective student with LD’s. Good planning, well done.
While I’m in the minority here, I believe the prospective student has an obligation- even a duty- to do such research when that student has legally documented special needs. I think to fail to do so, is to choose to put the student at risk.
Why do some here feel it is for someone else to look out for student as a first step; rather than as the very last resort?
