[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is hellish for students with disabilities right now. My advocate says it’s the worst she has seen it in 30 years. There’s complete disregard - or a lack of training and understanding - of the IDEA, Section 504, and ADA. Paper documents are written and never followed.

Move to wherever you can to keep enough income in reserve for a lot of private services. For example - a tutor with a special education background to work on IEP goals and objectives while working on homework with your child cost $150 per hour. Your child may need two hours per week. Then there’s speech, occupational therapy, educational evaluations, etc. that might be needed.

MCPS is an adversarial environment that looks to deny student services versus providing what a child needs to learn. Students with disabilities are treated like an afterthought - they will get the teachers and services when we can budget and hire more staff but the budget and staff never appear. That could be an issue through out Maryland.[/quote]

+1000.  I could have written this word for word.  And MCPS was HORRENDOUS prior to pandemic so can’t imagine what it is like for kids now.  Any way you can just stay where you are and do private?  So much better.  I agree the funds for tutoring are going to be your best bet.  Public schools in general and MCPS in particular are a failing model.  They should die a quick death..:[/quote]
