Hello,
We have a first grader with autism. We are currently in Pennsylvania and services here are awesome. My daughter has a BHT in school and also a PCA if the 1:1 is unavailable. She has an IE, good services and is progressing steadily. She has high functioning autism with some issues of escaping that we are working on. We are considering a move to Loudoun County, VA to be close to family/friends and also for a new job. Therefore, wanted to check how the services are for kids on spectrum in the public schools in Loudoun County. Do they work/reevaluate current IEP? Do they offer PCA if necessary/allow outside providers like a BHT? Are kids with autism placed in general ed classrooms and offered services? Do all elementary schools also have separate classrooms for kids with special needs? Also, in general are there agencies that offer Speech/OT through insurance? We have Cigna insurance and all services are pretty much covered through insurance here. We want to understand how it all works in nova. Any insights would be very helpful. Thank you. |
