[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is in gen ed with an extensive IEP.  In what ways is this program different?  What is offered in the self contained class(es) and what additional supports are offered when they are included in gen ed?[/quote]

Access to specialists who really know what they are doing. The teachers are very patient and specially trained and they get a lot of supervision from the autism unit at MCPS which is arguably one of the best if not the best in the country.
Social skills, emotional regulation, executive functioning instruction throughout the day.
A paraeducator to accompany them to gen ed classes and help with challenges and head off issues. The ability to leave that gen ed setting at any time if the child needs it. 
The ability to take the gen ed work to the specialized teacher to get help or help advocate or teach the child to advocate if there are challenges.
A peer group with similar challenges that can help with support or at least help make the child feel like she's not alone.
A support group for the parents. At Diamond the parents talk a lot, give each other advice, coordinate playdates to practice social skills.
Support at recess for peer interactions.
A smaller room for lunch.[/quote]
