You might think so. However, experiences with having a brother with special needs teach me that there is no practical way to get therapy services except through the government. My parents did not want to, but they had no choice. My brother needed the therapy and you couldn’t even get appointments unless you went with the government. There’s basically no private market for this stuff.

There is actually quite a market for special needs services.

We have a private speech therapist. We’ve seen a private occupational therapist. We have a private school with a learning specialist that works with reading/writing.

There are other private schools that help kids with more severe disabilities.

The only thing is that it is expensive, and you don’t get tax breaks!!!!!
