[quote=Anonymous]MCPS. But. You need to do your research into that vast system, and pick out the school or the program that you think will best meet your child's needs. We moved inbounds for the Bethesda Elementary school in part because it has a great reputation regarding special needs. Then my child got into the GT/LD program (gifted talented / learning disabled), which is out of our cluster, but still local. My son is bused there. It has been a life-saver for him, because he has access to advanced classes, but with support. In your case, I would first think hard about your child's needs, and whether they would be better addressed in the general education classroom, in which case you need a school with an experienced special needs team and a supportive administration; or a special program (there are Asperger's and autism programs in certain schools). Perhaps your child could also do well in a magnet school or the GT/LD program. [/quote]
