If you decide not to do this now.....
 
May I gently ask: "What's your plan B, what will you do instead?"
 
+ Crack the whip?
+ Tutoring?
+ Drugs?
 
When you've got a leaky tub on your hands, there's nothing much else that you can do. And it's expensive...it costs for any ineffective--because of perceptual issues--tutoring, medications, attorneys, and counselors for the emotional consequences upon the child's self-esteem -- that last one most of all.
 
The S-O-S core of the treatment plan that we use is researched -- it attacks the actual problems, it doesn't just whitewash the symptoms -- and has been around so long that this is no longer a test of if it works, but instead, will it be done?
 
TLC is twice as effective (with an 80% resolution rate in just 6 months), and half as expensive as any other approach because we're identifying and fixing the holes in the tub. (Plus, it is frequently covered by insurance.) It is a truly clinical solution for many, many learning problems. If you've looked at the parents' reports, you can see that it changes and blesses lives all the time.
 
Think about it....
