[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question to MCPS parents, assuming a child has an IEP for emotional disturbance with NO physical aggression or conduct issues, would MCPS  push for self-contained class or do they agree that these children can go into a general ed class with extra support?[/quote]

In what sense are you using the phrase "conduct issues?" Are you talking about zero behavior issues at all, or in the sense of conduct disorder?[b] If a student is routinely losing significant chunks of instructional time or not making progress due to the emotional disability, e.g. shutting down[/b], eloping, [b]needing a lot of time to process through something with an adult before coming back to tas[/b]k, etc. then they might recommend a smaller setting at least some of the time. There's no blanket rule. They are charged with providing education in the least restrictive environment appropriate to the student's needs. [/quote]

Unfortunately, DC shuts down, needs time to process something, difficulty staying focused and on task, makes friends easily but then has trouble keeping them due to the impulsivity and being impatient with social interactions. [/quote]
