<p>In our state, IEPs are for special ed kids attending public schools only. You can qualify only for SPEECH therapy (and only a very little time every week of so-so therapy–S had it off and on for years & begged to stop) if you choose to send your child to private school. You can’t get reimbursed for any portion of sending your kid to private school unless the public school agrees or you win a judgment that the public school can’t provide for what is set forth in IEP and needs to fund the private school. It’s pretty tough to win and make the state fund private school, but it sometimes happens.</p>
