Yes it is the County. I don't want to mention which one to the public. I try to make this a story shorter. I talked thru the terp to talk to the guy who runs the program. First, I told him how wonderful the teacher was (after I used my son for terp service for first 2 classes). The guy was pleased and he "bragged" about her. Then I discussed the ADA law and the terp offered her service. The guy was hestiant, but I advised him to contact the Disabled Service program. Told him that I would attend the next class with terp or not.

In the end, he decided to hire this terp and her friend ierp for team-interp. The end of this story has a happy ending.

By the way, you are right I should not use my son but it was beyond my control and my son is almost 18. He was glad to provide me the service although I told him it was only temporary. Due to the guy's resistence, I did not expect my son to continue for next class. The guy wanted me to postpone taking the class this Fall. I have other commitments to attend this Fall and i dont have any room for taking the class this Fall. Besides, I have a right to choose a class any time I wish.
