Cher(e) compatriote,

You have to find more info on how to enter that program, by contacting the special education division of MCPS - look on their website.

I have a child in a different special needs program (GT/LD, or gifted, talented and learning disabled), and our IEP team approved of the switch, based on a private neuropsychological evaluation we had done and his behavior at school. In our case, our home address doesn't matter - my child is bused to the right school on a special needs bus.

If your child is high-functioning and capable, perhaps they might also do well in the GT/LD program. We are at North Bethesda (same cluster as Tilden), but depending on your home address, your child might be placed in the other GT/LD program up north.

Yes at Tilden and Ridgeview MS they have an aspergers program.

My child's aspergers has been confirmed by a private psychologist and by an MCPS psychologist.

Someone contacted me she works with middle school aspergers program. She said we might be assigned to Ridgeview. I'll double check with her because Tilden is 6.7 miles and Ridgeview 7 miles.

Thanks for your help![/quote]
