[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this is a parent group that has a good breakdown of the various programs in MCPS: https://xminds.org/ Part of your decision will need to be deciding if your child is better served in a gen ed classroom or a self-contained one, but [b]part of that decision will also be deciding if you want your child to remain on a diploma track or not. [/b]No judgement on which is right for any child but once you step off that path it is hard to get back on. I used to work in a self-contained autism classroom, and at least at our elementary school we were well staffed - one teacher and two paras (sometimes a third when children needed 1:1 support) with 6-8 students. [/quote] There are at least two MoCo autism programs that are self contained and still on the diploma track: the asperger's program mentioned above and the autism resource service (ARS), for kids who need more support academically but are still diploma track.[/quote]
