Reply #92: Can I ask a question about educational advocates? [View All]

[CoffeeCat]

You mentioned that I should consult an educational advocate. I think this sound wonderful. I want
to consult the professionals. I'm in listening mode and I want expert opinions. I'm the first to
admit that I'm not an educational expert.

It is my understanding that my child would be tutored, by a special-ed instructor for 30 minutes a
day. The instructor would specifically focus on math. It is also my understanding that my child
would not learn math with her regular class, that she would learn and study math with this special
ed instructor. This is why I am confused. Why not just have my daughter tutored? Why special education?

I'm sure there are logical answers to these questions, I just don't have those answers yet.

So, how do I go about finding an educational expert? Is this through the school district?

Thank you so much for reading my post and for any insight.
