[quote=Anonymous]DL is not working for our SN's DS currently enrolled in MCPS (1st grade).  He has an autism and ADHD diagnosis and is currently medicated.  He has an IEP but implementation is almost non-existent.  He is really frustrated and we are spending more time teaching him and helping him understand the assignments while participating in DL than if we were to give up and homeschool.  Unfortunately, we both work full time and committing to homeschooling for the rest of the school year is not possible.  Further, even when he attended Kindergarten last year in person, we were called at least once a week because he would have a meltdown and destroyed property or hurt others.  When he is at home, we do not have these incidents and based on feedback from our ABA therapist who observed him on multiple occasions during class, the large class is not working for him because he is not able to follow along.  When he gets more one on one instruction or small groups, he does not have the behavior issues and is able to do all the assignments.  Based on everything I discussed, we would like to enroll him in private school.  We are considering Ivymount, Katherine Thomas and McLean School and don't know which one would be best for our DS's needs.[/quote]
