@sbjdorlo Thanks for the ASL tip. I will be outsourcing this one as well as several others. We are also in CA and use the charter system so we will have $2700 in instructional funding next year. Plenty to get a weekly tutor.
Have you considered looking into the charter special education system for teaching? Our school has both ES and LS, and the LS is specific to SpEd. More and more parents are taking their SpEd students and heading into the charter system. I found the services I am getting through our charter are significantly better than what I was being offered in the traditional public school system, both in terms of quantity and quality. Our OT increased from 3X annually consult to weekly, SLP went from 2 monthly 30 min to 60 min weekly, and RSP is now one on one. Fantastic!!!
