[quote=Anonymous]MCPS was touting their wonderful new integrated curriculum but it's been a nightmare for my son. He has a severe fine motor delay and difficulty spelling and organizing his thoughts in writing. Although he gets OT, MCPS refuses to provide support with the writing process. The new curriculum is so writing intense! He's just feeling overwhelmed and hopeless. He's always been decent at math, but now he seems to be lost on that too. I'm just curious what accomodations are common with the new curriculum and how other children with SN are doing with it.

I wish I had money for private school, but I don't. I feel like I'm failing my son by leaving him in a bad situation. For what it's worth, he is in one of the highest performing schools in MCPS and the administration at the school is very kind. The big issue is the new curriculum combined with the fact the county reps refuse to provide appropriate services. At the IEP table, the reps from the county treat me like I'm just a whining, neurotic, helicopter parent. Everyone says hire a lawyer or advocate but I can't afford it and we make too much money for someone to take us on pro bono. I feel so stuck! All I can think to do is homeschool and my husband is opposed.
