When you’re concerned about the progress your child is (or isn’t) making in school, what do you do? Where can you turn to for help?

This audio podcast features an interview with parent Judith Halden, who offers her tips, guidance, and perspective for parents who may be considering going outside of the public school system to have their child evaluated privately for learning disabilities. It’s not only a matter of cost — public school evaluations are free, private ones are not –there are a number of important factors and differences parents need to keep in mind.
