[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:10 I honestly, don't know the rhyme or reason to how things work out.  Our DD (has developmental delays not ASD) was at RH and it was a disaster.  A woman I know whose daughter (probably ASD but I'm not sure) went there the next year and they bent over backwards for her.[/quote]

You mention that a (probably) ASD child got better services than your DD child at Rosemary Hills -- I wonder if this is because RH has an autism program and so they are probably better informed/equipped to deal with this.

In general, our experience in MCPS and @RH has been that many delays will be labeled as "within the developmental spectrum" meaning that if a children are expected to read 3 letter words somewhere between 3 years and 9 years old, then your child will not be given support services until they have passed the 9 year mark.  In theory, they get away with this because your child could be one of the "late developers."  In practice, what this means is that your child will not be given help until 99.9% of his/her age group has attained a developmental skill, by which time it is too late and much harder to remedy.

In general, we have not found RH cooperative in dealing with LDs.  On an individual basis there has been one great/cooperative teacher, one real stinker and many mediocre/in between.  [/quote]
