[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is well above grade level and needed more behavioral/emotional support than yours was in the Asperger's program.  They did fine with her.  They do offer a lot of individualized instruction, so I don't see why they would have a problem with your kid.

Laura Solomon is the advocate who got the placement for us.  She is EXTREMELY aggressive and MCPS knows her all too well.  In fact, you might get the placement just by threatening to hire her. :lol[/quote]

Imagine what happens to the quality of the program if many students who are poor candidates are admitted because their parents threaten to hire an extremely aggressive advocate or attorney? How does that turn out for the students who are perfect candidates? Will they be properly served if staff is overwhelmed try to meet the needs of students who don't fit the profile the program is intended to serve?[/quote]
MCPS is very haphazard about how they decide placements.  If there are any actual criteria, they certainly spare no effort in hiding what they are.  They also don't provide enough spots in their special programs.   Maybe if more parents advocated aggressively for their children, MCPS would be forced to actually meet the needs of the children they are supposed to be helping. [/quote]
