I live in NJ and last Spring my district gave me a very hard time about my special needs child's home program and wanted to send her to an out of district placement even though it wasn't in her best interests. They wanted what was easier for her.They also wanted me to see the neurologist that they refer kids to and they would pay for it. I said, no thanks, I will bring her to the neurologist she has been seeing and pay for it myself through insurance. Well, today, I find out that the neurologist that they used was charged along with others in NJ for downloading child porn-the rape of a 5 year old. I was disgusted. I know that you are innocent until proven guilty but boy, I am glad I insisted on my own neurologist. Others such as a hockey coach in a nearby town were also charged. According to the Daily Record newspaper from 1/28/05 the Attorney General's office for NJ is saying this is no accident and that these people had distributed this information to others. It is soooo sad. But this is just another example that when it comes to my special needs child, I will go with my instinct and gut before the district's.
