Pandora,

       There is this fine line within the halls of SSA,and it says (if
we can avoid paying) by all means do so.I for one have been rejected
right up through the Administrative law Judge hearing three times.It
seems learning disabilities are the least awarded disabilities for SSI,
and services.
       Within our own State of New York,Vocational and educational
services for the disabled attempts to make the fammilys pay for services
such as remediation,if not through them in an organization or sheltered
work shop where it costs less.
         People with learning disabilities in general have an above
averaerage inteligence because of the over compensation needed to get
by.It's very recent that the learning disabled in this country are start
ing to get recoginized by congress and the house of reps.We need moe
advocacy and it's not parents,but ourselves.
