[quote=Anonymous]Don't waste your time trying to get testing from MCPS.  Go ahead, save up and do your own private testing. A good neuropsych is invaluable. MCPS will use the cheapest test -- and frankly there is nothing the county schools offer for a child who learns differently except frustration.  If your child has dyslexia there is no intervention that MCPS offers (here is where they are borderline criminal organization because they will make it seem like they can assist -- and just socially promote).   You need to get an ASDEC tutor - and fast.  Between $60-120 an hour for O-G tutoring three times a week or take classes yourself in O-G.  You are the best thing that ever happened to your kid -- not MCPS.  He will succeed -- and sounds like he is succeeding despite that place -- because of you.  Keep educating yourself even more about learning disorders.  Forget lawyers, advocates and other parents who will either take advantage of the situation -- or tell you to 'push' more.  The odds of you winning a private placement in Maryland are very slim. Homeschool if necessary.  You can do this.  But you have to educate yourself in the latest cognitive research if you don't want to pay for a place like Sienna at $40,000 a year.  Start by reading the book 'Learn Better' by Ulrich Boser.  MCPS is sub-optimal for bright kids -- they use them as PR window dressing for Central office -- and an unmitigated disaster for anyone with a learning disorder. Yep 2.7 billion dollar jobs program....built for the 'Apple Ballot' adults.  [/quote]
