Sadly parents are on there own-- but it takes years of working with the docs to find out they know nothing. Total waste of money and time. And I mean years lost that could have helped a child develop. When the window closes learning is stagnant. They certainly see this for languages. My son started Spanish in fourth grade, then the cut backs took out the only foreign language. As he put so much effort into the school hours to ad Spanish at home was useless despite my efforts. Now in HS, he is starting to hate Spanish because it is hard for him.
