| Has anyone had their child in the emotional disabilities cluster at MCPS? If so, could you provide feedback on the program? What type of disabilities do the children in the program typically have? |

| They serve a large range of disabilities from students with autism who do not get placed in the autism program to students with ADHD who need smaller classes, to anxiety issues. There are some very aggressive children in the class and others who are just unpredictable. The part that troubles me is that the classes serve 3 grades each so depend into n the age of your child, can have children 2 full years ahead in a class. The teachers we had were okay, nothing better than okay. It was better than having daily conversations with the home school, but very little learning academically or socially. We also had major issues with the very long bus ride. In the end the program did not work for our child. The teachers I ll make or break the class, so get ask inch info as you can about the specific program. Also k how much inclusion the school uses- each school is different in their model. Good luck! |
